I really don’t understand the UKGC. They come in with the illusion of trying to help problem gamblers, so they cap the stake at £5 which, although I don’t have the figures to back this up, I’m pretty sure 99% of players play well under this. They also remove autoplay which only seemed to serve the purpose of making slots more arduous.
If they actually looked at games like slingo and providing some regulations about ensuring full kyc is completed before allowing someone to deposit rather than wait until withdrawing, I’d have more respect for them.
Oh, and it’s interesting to note that this only applies to slots – no change to roulette. If anyone remembers before the £2 max stake in the bookies came in, most of the terminals were used for roulette. So much for tackling problem gambling….
