Quit Gambling
Hiya
Possibly the wrong forum, but does anyone else have the problem of playtech (Betfred & Totesport in my case) crashing frequently. Doesn't seem so bad on non-slot games, but on slots I can barely go 5 minutes without the whole casino crashing.
It's kinda maddenly - just trying to play Dr Lovemore and the silly thing is crashing all the time.
Regards

Had this on my old PC, the slots would suddenly freeze, and the entire lobby stopped responding such that the only way to exit was through the task manager.Originally Posted by Shocked
I have not seen the same problem on my new PC though.

Sorry, i never had problem with Playtech Casino. It's always fun to play and nothing to say, sorry.

You never worked out what could be the problem? It happens on both my PCs and they have very different set ups, which is rather strange. Tried exiting running applications (AVs, email notifier..basically anything in the systray) and it makes no difference and I may try disabling drivers one by one, but its a right pain.

This sounds like it may be a video card issue....
Have you tried booting into VGA mode? (Hit F8 at boot, and choose it from the list.) This will load the default windows video driver, bypassing any hardware acceleration; basically running video at minimal capacity without any additional "features" running that the card has enabled with its native drivers.
It may be god awful ugly (800x600x8 resolution), but if it does work, it may be the video drivers &/or card that's giving you fits.

I concluded that it was related to the fact my PC has onboard graphics, and no actual graphics card. I have already installed the latest onboard graphics drivers. It is an old Windows 98 PC, with fairly basic specs (it was bought as "internet ready"). I have upgraded it as far as Windows 98 and the motherboard could take, and it retired from active casino duty early last year. It will spend it's remaining days on less taxing matters till it finally dies.
Since Playtech was OK on the new PC, I left it at this, and investigated no further.
Last night however, I decided to play off a free £12 in Fastwin casino (Playtech). It didn't freeze as I autoplayed the £12 to extinction on Dr Lovemore (as would most certainly have happened on the old PC), but when I later tried to turn of my NEW XP PC, it hung on "windows is shutting down", and this is something that is very rare indeed, and perhaps indicates a NEW issue with Playtech software might be responsible for these latest problems.

Maybe you could put it to use solely for doing your taxes...that way you can throw it out the window when you find out how much you owe, and not be out anything
Or does the UK even have income tax like us Americans?

BUT:-
For most of us, it is automated, and we don't have to fill in a big form each year unless we have to declare income outside of our work and other registered payments (such as pensions, state benefits, etc).
GAMBLING, does NOT need to be reported, as unlike the USA, we are NOT taxed on winnings of any amount UNLESS we declare our occupation as "Professional Gambler". There ARE a few individuals who do this, but they must somehow get an advantage, perhaps by the status lending any books, gambling systems, etc, that they sell or promote a great deal of credibility.
It is normally in the field of sports betting that you see this, and there is now an opportunity to use "trading" on sports outcomes, as well as using traditional bookies to place bets.

Indeed we do pay an awful lot more tax, it's a joke. Those of us who are hard working individuals are paying for the upkeep of millions of unemployed in Britain...I'd rather be over in the states but it that way!
Rip off Britain...people have no idea just how rip off it is! I find a good example is always Fuel or Cigarettes... I pay £1.15 for a litre of 'gas'...that's around £4 a gallon...that's $8!
Cigs = £5 a pack, $10 !!

The next time I pay 3.75 for a gl of gas and 3.50 for a pack of ciggs I will be thinking of you and not get so upset for what I thought were high prices.
