I'm getting a bit tired of the hoops you are now required to jump through in order to play at an online casino in the UK.
Don't get me wrong, I fully understand the need for casinos to protect themselves against dirty money and accusations of contributing to ruining players lifes, but as an example, just recently I had a pop up when logging on to Unibet saying their systems had detected I had had a very long session of playing throughout the night and early morning and was I happy with my level of play?...Well yes, I was (and am ) happy as I was on a really lucky streak and as I had no work the next day I decided to stay up and play. I made that decision as an adult and I wish they (and by that I mean most if not all casinos) would treat us like adults, after all we've already had to send in photo ID, Utility bill, photo of deposit card and bank statement for Christs sake, and now when I play at Unibet (a casino I love to play at btw) I feel like are there going to be repercussions if I play high stakes for a session, or start low and then go all in for maybe the last ten spins, or play for 6 or 7 hours straight? will this action be seen as reckless and trigger their 'systems' leading to another exchange of emails before I can play next? and I'm not singling out Unibet, as I say,I think they are a good place to play, I just used the above as an example
I am all for responsible gambling of course, but I just think the pendulum is swinging a bit too far at the moment on nannying players..........But maybe it's just me?.......What are your thoughts on the subject, do you agree?, or do you think the casinos are just being sensible and I'm overreacting?
