obv £100 monthly is only £25 a week. four deposits and suddenly need financial checks thats insane. wonder if this hits existing accounts or just new ones? been verified for years and damn would be stupid reverifying with payslips now
just seen this on the news that ukgc putting out proposals for enhanced affordability checks on all uk licensed sites. anyone depositing over £100 in a month gonna need to provide financial documents (bank statements, payslips etc) to prove they can afford it. supposed to come in early 2026 if...
u can complain to UKGC but takes ages. better simply stick with faster paying sites. bet365 always pay me within 2 hours using visa direct. maybe costs bit more in juice but worth it for peace of mind
it did kill the vip market mostly. thats why mass market is so important now. plus macau trying to rebrand as family entertainment destination not just casino hub. new properties have shopping malls concerts shows etc
must warn u folks seen a lot of clones of big ones. nearly got done by fake stake site last month had exact same design but different wallet addresses so better check domain prop
practically speaking most finns i know just use the same international sites as everyone else. stake bitstarz etc all work fine there
veikkaus is pretty boring compared to what ur used to in uk. limited games and not great odds tbh
pinnacle usually has best cs2 odds but they dont take uk players anymore. betway decent for esports but margins bit higher. heard bet365 finally adding more cs2 markets but havent checked recently
agreed but will be painful transition for operators who built business models around offsghore market access
lots of crypto casinos gonna need complete strategic pivots
the interesting question is whether irish licenses will be recognized by other eu countries or if operators need separate licenses everywhere. as single digital market was supposed to make this easier but gambling always gets special treatment :rolleyes:
makes sense cuz google's been gettin pressure from regulators about illegal gambling ads for ages. guess much easier to just filter results than deal with complaints from every cuontry
classic regulatory capture. The big boys probably lobbied for this behind the scenes meanwhile us punters get worse odds and bonuses cos theres less competition. Brilliant!!
