bet365 have had some version of this for years actually. what's changed is how prominent they're making it. used to be buried three tabs deep in promotions. now it's basically the loading screen. man utd winning the league at 900/1 probably still counts as an acca mission completion. just a thought

whole AU situation is weird because pokies are massive there in pubs and clubs but online is banned to "protect" people. makes perfect sense sure Gov wants the tax revenue from land-based but won't regulate online properly and thet's it

The reality is online slots are designed to have high variance to keep things "exciting" which means long droughts are built into the math. Land based slots have more consistent smaller wins because players walk away when they're not hitting anything. Online they can stretch out the pain because...

whole offshore casino market sketchy - some operate professionally (bitstarz, stake) while others pure scams (shazam apparently) problem is no way to know until you try withdrawing and by then its too late if they scam

whole situation is complete mess with no clear good guys or bad guys (except casino obv)

this whole thing is impossible to judge without seeing all three versions of the review and knowing what riverslots actual terms say about betting patterns like: could be OP violated T&C and doesn't realize it could be casino scammed them could be review site protecting casino could be review...

Lots of NetEnt criticism here which mirrors my experience. I remember Starburst, Gonzo's Quest, Dead or Alive were industry standards. And how the mighty have fallen now...

@Newbie mate please dont spread unverified rumours current confirmed rules: - £5 max spin (25+) - £2 max spin (18-24) - 2.5 second minimum spin time proposed but not confirmed: - £125/month loss triggers financial checks everything else is speculation

Lil reminder that accessing UK casinos from NL might violate their terms depending on how they detect location. Some use IP geolocation, some just check registration address so check the T&C's carefully before depositing

Theres valid points both sides. Of course regulations can be excessive and push people offshore but offshore also has real risks like @vogafox mentioned. Difficult balance between protecting vulnerable people and keeping players in regulated space with actual oversight Crypto casinos dont have...

Industry claim is staff training and database issues. Reality is enforcement costs money and reduces revenue so there's no incentive

Self exclusion enforcement difficult in physical venues without mandatory ID checks. Online much easier to enforce. But yes 7% efficacy rate s terrific
