You’re completely and utterly wasting your time, not to mention SENSE is nothing to do with online casinos just land based casinos (and possibly land based bookies and arcades) so two completely different things

There are NO WAYS WHATSOEVER to cancel your Gamstop early, you won’t be able to gamble online again until April 2023 and even then expect to jump through some massive hoops when you try and sign up to gambling sites again who will see your Gamstop marker!

Even when (if) they let you back expect to be hit with enforced deposit / loss limits that are so low it isn’t worth the bother

I tried online gambling in the middle of last year, got a few decent wins meaning a >£2000 balance which instantly means you have to send your life story just to cash it out, a few days later ‘yeah we’ve decided you can’t lose more than £800 a month’

After that I just sacked it off and signed up to Gamstop for 5 years

You can play this (and other Pragmatic titles) in demo on their official site…with the super fast ultra mega turbo spins so you can really blast through and check out the bonuses

Most that I got seemed to hover between 50x – 100x

A lot of the UK casinos already enforce this now although not to such a harsh extent, but funnily enough only after you try to WITHDRAW rather than DEPOSIT…

For example over the summer I signed up to Rizk, turned £500 into £2500, got asked for passport and bank statement for the withdrawal to be processed…a few days later

After a review of your account, and the documents you have provided us with, we have set a monthly Net loss limit of £800 on your account.

So even though I had only lifetime deposited £500 on Rizk I was already hit with that limit on my account!  Annoyed me so much I signed up to Leovegas, blew a few grand on there…as I said funnily enough no documentation or limits set there as I didn’t attempt to withdraw! – then signed up to 6 months Gamstop which is now I’m happy to say 5 years Gamstop

What is also strange is the fact a gambler can walk into a bookies / arcade / bingo / land based casino and essentially anonymously lose as much as they want without a bat of an eyelid anyway, I also find it DISGUSTING how at the seaside now kids can play the 10p Barcrest community games (Rainbow Riches Party / Boogie Nights etc.) so they’re familiar with them for when they turn 18 and see the same games in the adult area!

Don’t think it matters where you sign up, the UKGC are making it as hard as possible for UK players to be adults and make their own decisions online!

Rizk I signed up, made some deposits no questions asked, soon as it came to a few withdrawals we need to see your passport and bank statement showing address, sent those in so I could actually withdraw my money – a couple of days later I had an enforced £800 monthly loss limit on my account and they started begging for a payslip, so I self excluded my account for 60 months there, mind your own business!

LeoVegas then let me deposit £500, £500, £500, £500, £500 no questions asked, no withdrawals but no doubt that would have gone a similar route, in the end I just thought forget it and whacked myself on GamStop for a year! (not even for the financial side as much as the I can’t be bothered with all this hassle  and sending my entire identity to half the population of Malta side of things!)

Just sticking with land based now, walk in, put money in machine, put ticket in cash out machine (hopefully!), done…

I recommend avoiding Rizk too, signed up the other day, deposited and withdrew a few times, ended up asking for proof of ID passport / bank statement (to verify address) which I sent and they got approved – they decided to slap an £800 monthly loss limit on my account

Few days later now it is popping up asking for further documents in terms of a payslip, they ain’t having it, just decided to close the account instead

Signed up on LeoVegas now but only made one deposit there so far as the itch for online gambling has well and truly passed especially with all this nonsense!  At least in the arcade I just walk in, put money in machine, get on with it without all the hassle!

[k6 k6kaysix WANTED $51 Outlaw]

Wow that is a monster!  I would say congratulations but perhaps a bit premature!

You say you only signed up last week, did they ask for verification of your identity yet (passport photo etc)?  As it seems there is a UKGC enforced rule where they have to ask for that for any wins of over £2,000

It can be exciting when you get a bunch of seaweed and the coins pop up, only to be let down by 1 1 1 2 1 1 Bonus Bonus!

A bit like that Wish Master game though in that as you’re clicking away through the dead seaweed it is costing you a credit each time so is a bit of a sneaky one!

[k6 k6kaysix WANTED $51 Outlaw]

Well after all that they’ve sent me an email today and enforced a £800 monthly loss limit on my account!

So don’t think I’ll play there again anyway, as I can think of absolutely nothing worse than being 800 down ‘tough luck see you next month matey!’

I get responsible gamling, I get I made a lot of deposits and withdrawals yesterday but if I wanted to set limits I would happily set them myself, ah well looks like I might be in lifetime profit from them now at least! 😀

[k6 k6kaysix WANTED $51 Outlaw]

I basically just brain dumped my session, appreciate it may just come across as waffle to some people! 🙂

 

All verified now (one thing I will give Rizk is they are incredibly quick at verification and withdrawals), so the grand is in my PayPal and I’ve put a 7 day time out on my account just to stop any potential temptation!

[k6 k6kaysix WANTED $51 Outlaw]

Sorry I wrote that with my own head in a bit of a mess haha!

Part 2 is shorter

Didn’t cash out the 900 quid, went on a load of random games which didn’t do much, balance down to £0, reload £500 (so £500 in basically which as I mentioned was my absolute limit)

Played Jammin Jars quite a bit and it somehow got the balance up to nearly £1k, but again just missing those monster connections!  I then stupidly loaded up Razor Shark on £2, what a balance killer that is!

Back down to £500ish and right I’m going for it, Book Of Dead £4 stake…in drop the books for pineapple head, a 4 and a 3, £2k bonus thank you very much withdraw £1500 very quickly!

Somehow had £800 left in the balance after that withdrawal, should really have cashed out a further £500 but instead I stupidly decided to build up Lil Devil on £1 – jesus christ!  3 bonuses during the build for under £20 each time, and then the heartstopper paid even less!  So that was £400 down and tilt mode activated, blew the rest on more random slots but never mind eh you live and learn

TL:DR – £1000 up in the end overall, satisfied my itch for now hopefully until the arcades open again anyway!  Can’t deposit / withdraw until they verify me now anyway

“Today I’m going to do a bonus hunt…here is a 10 minute explanation on a 20 minute of what a bonus hunt actually means”

Why would a bank offer you a loan when you already have a loan (or several) and your credit report is screaming of various pay day loans, missed payments, gambling transactions…

Look at it from their side and it becomes very obvious why they aren’t very keen to offer you any more dosh

[k6 k6kaysix WANTED $51 Outlaw]

The graphical nonsense means nothing just there to look good, you were winning 8 spins before the wheel even started spinning…

[k6 k6kaysix WANTED $51 Outlaw]

Amazing win on 80p but the other stakes show why overall it really isn’t worth chasing the 40 hearts!
