Everything the UKGC is short-termist and of no benefit to anyone, not even themselves. All they've 'accomplished' is to give off a facade of 'tackling' problem gambling by blue-pencilling all the fun out of slotting and killing off the UK market.
And lest we forget, Autoplay isn't a problematic tool, it has more benefits than not, and I recall having superstitiously manually-spun in my early slotting ventures for hours on end - some of these sessions would be in excess of 12 hours, and I recall slumping in front of the computer and not even being able to choreograph the cursor onto 'Spin', often hitting random spaces, after a 26- hour Bonanza session (yeah that's right, we bad)
Can't envisage doing that now of course, mainly because Bonanza's shit. But more because I don't fancy having an index finger that resembles E.T.'s. Will the UKGC pay for corrective knuckle-finger surgery? No, I didn't think so
