I think all payment methods should disappear and there should be something like a gamblers card that in which an individual may apply for it and be given a card with a limit of transferable cash to it per month. The application for this card could be very much like a mortgage where they look at your yearly earning then debts ie loan repayments and how much you spend on household stuff like food then say ok sir/madam after all information is collected it is recommended that you have £xx per month available to top up your card. You also have to agree that in your application that all the information you give is true and correct same as a mortgage application and if you lie to get more available funds at that point it’s your own fault and your revoked banning you from gambling online until such a time you can re-apply after a face to face meeting :/
So in summary what would this method achieve.
1. Set a monthly deposit allowance.
2. Controlled gambling.
3. Self-accountability if you lie on your application it is your fault but the damage is still limited.
4. Easier to track as its one central card system.
I dunno its an idea but very feasible to me some people even though they don’t have a problem wouldn’t like the system but is it better for the greater good? there’s probably more that could be done in regards to this idea to make it more suitable. any thoughts?
