i'm asking the question because months in since the new regulations and licensing came in, I've only seen downsides.
As a UK slots player we have already had the choice of available casinos limited, and there is some big names in there that no longer accept UK players such as Betsson and Luckydino etc etc, for some casinos this is temporary issue while they apply for a license and for others its a permanent choice.
UK slots players no longer have full access to the range of slots at casinos, since this is also a licensing issue, and to top it off we are being segmented by casinos for the promotions that are running, from the affiliate side of things i see a lot of (not valid for UK players).
It's no surprise that casinos are hesitant to even both accepting UK players as they will be taxed additionally by the UKGC on UK generated revenue as are the affiliates too.
So they are a regulatory body supposed to be looking after us, the biggest case recently has been the 666bet/ Metroplay and the most recent statement by the UKGC can be found here

when they actually highlight on their own site However, it remains the case that the Commission cannot guarantee when or indeed whether customers will be paid. in reference to that case it dosen't exactly fill you full of confidence that they are an active help for UK players and worth all the hassles listed above...
