How to fix UK gambling:

1) Force the payment operators (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, etc) to only allow transactions from UK players to UK casinos who are licensed by UKGC and in good standing

2) Set default limit of £1000/month for everyone like Germany with KYC and AML being handled by qualified and trusted persons – banks and payment processors – never by players and casinos. That casinos somehow found themselves as gatekeepers for this info shocks me

3) If someone wants limits over £1000/month they do the KYC, AML, show me your divorce papers dance with the casino. The burden is then on the casino to ensure losses don’t exceed what the customer can afford. If that happens, the casino pays back the customer

4) Remove all the nanny-restrictions like removal of autoplay, removing quickspin and turbospins. Bonus buys available for those who complete KYC and AML. Gambling is supposed to be fun and UKGC is making gambling less fun for UK citizens. They are harming, not protecting

5) If people want to get around these restrictions with crypto let them. Only a handful of cryptos are truly anonymous, bitcoin, ethereum and DOGE are not among them. Any casino accepting cryptos for the purposes of circumventing UK laws would be subject to seizure or attack

6-10) Open a UK casino whose shareholders are every citizen in the UK (not the government). Make the games and RTP the fairest they can possibly be. Never refuse a withdrawal if a deposit has been accepted. Always care about the player. Smash every other casino in the UK and the world, leaving the ordinary UK citizen as the bookie and the casino so we no longer have to rely on UKGC or the cartel that controls almost every casino in Europe

Seems like some sound ideas there, that can at least be looked at and improved upon if needed, added to where necessary.

Tonight I had a chance meeting with a current employee and talked for the second time this week about KYC asking “do you know what it is?” to the employee who has only been in the industry for the last couple or few years. “no”. When I explained, the person said oh yea, I remember that. We don’t do it anymore, we just ask people’s names and if they are ok. Arms length protection now. But who knew this was the current UKGC policy ?

I still maintain that to go into a bookies, you should be ID’d and Gamstop applicable but I also agree gamstop should be less of a faff to either join of leave. Does a person have to test and risk their vulnerability to realise they need it ? millions of people to toy with, is no joke. A person who knows they have been made redundant should be able to join and if they get another good career job path going, be able to return to what they wish to afford.

The reality on the UKGC front is seemingly more blur than anything. My one friend is on gamstop for 5 years, couldn’t care less when it ends, is glad it’s in place and isn’t going to try to end it, while being openly glad to the point of admitting he needs it due to financial circumstances. Another friend of mine doesn’t need permanent gamstop but would like to be able to enjoy a good period of money making and lock a bad period, if that makes sense and not even be concerned about the urge. Just enable a limit, simply, and done. Disable when ready, convenient.

I have to ask, with all the “talent” in the industry, how hard is that to make ? Don’t say hard.
