Death of online casinos

[geordiecolin]

The big issue and the elephant in the room is the rate of inflation, not withstanding the fact that the furlough scheme has ended, the universal credit uplift payment of £20 a week has ended and the increase to NI contributions just voted through.

To stop inflation getting out of control, the BoE will have to raise interest rates. We have all been used to extremely low rates since the financial crash in 2008. Don't be surprised if it rises a couple of percentage points over the next 18 months.

Those on variable tracker rate mortgages might want to start thinking about locking down a fixed rate deal.

I have also read that another financial crash is imminent. With govt support all but now removed, it could be trying times for a lot of people in the near future

And that elephant is developing sever borborygmus
In America there are huge companies buying up vast amounts of properties and are renting many of them back to the sellers as well as buying up new builds.

I have just received this email from Ladbrokes.

Dear Colin, Ladbrokes invites you to support the Players’ Panel

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

The future of online betting and gaming rules are currently being debated in and around Westminster and we want you to have the opportunity to make your voice heard. Right now the loudest voices in the debate are politicians and campaigners who don’t bet but want to bring in excessive, intrusive restrictions on games like blackjack and slots. People like you - who actually play online games - must be at the heart of the debate about the future rules. The Players’ Panel exists to make sure that your opinion is heard by politicians and the government and to keep you updated on what’s happening in Westminster.

Yeah got this email a few weeks back. Good on Ladbrokes, at least they’re actually doing something to try to combat excessive UKGC interference.

Not seen a peep from other casinos as of yet.

The project is set to replace Verify, a previous single log-in system for Gov.uk which was abandoned earlier this year after failing to attract the predicted number of users despite reportedly costing more than £150 million.

Cant see the new app being any more popular TBH ??

Yeah I agree its a good step forward, but I feel people just wont bother and nothing will come of it, probably what the UKGC are banking on.

It was quite interesting to read this thread back and assess how things are now. I now think even more so that we will see the death of most online casinos and all of our abilities to gamble will be seriously cut to very little.
I wonder if any casino reps have heard any rumblings within their companies about the future?

All of what I will point out here can be verified by online searches.

We are being introduced to a variety of digital controls which will become wider and wider in scope and it is happening fast. We have the health passport which digitally tracks your movements. QR codes in order to access shops and public buildings. Many countries planning to introduce a digital ID which will work in tandem with the health passport and which the UK announced the implementation of recently.
Then there is the announcement of introducing a digital currency which will be a programmable currency where they can dictate what you spend your money on. It will also have a social credit system with rewards for healthy living and responsible spending. The uk gov announced recently a war on obesity where families get rewards for what they buy at supermarkets and walking to work etc.

Australia recently stated that they are going to introduce a passport for the internet where if you abuse your internet access then you will be blocked from using it. All of these introductions are being rolled out in various countries and will become world wide before you know it. Algorithms will monitor us then the powers that be will look at and punish us at will- Social media banned or access to gambling sites blocked for spending too much. China are already rolling out tracking and scoring citizens. A persons reputation is scored. It will have a huge impact on behaviours such as law breaking and anti social behaviour. Get blacklisted then your are subjected to a lot of restrictions. In China this social credit system will be nationwide next year.

I no longer think that even using bitcoin will be possible for gambling due to the above implementations as they will simply block you from gambling sites or the internet.
We are going to pay a big price for or mobiles and computers.

Just a quick update on this. Gently gently to begin with

But this is a good thing is it not? No mention of Social Credit-scoring, telling people what foods they're allowed to buy, or forcing people to change their diets into vegan ones. It's a short-term scheme to incentivize obese people to take up exercise?

BRITCOIN soon in UK

BRITCOIN soon in UK

It will be rolled out in every country then they will merge into one. Then it will be linked to digital passports with our medical history et al. This is what will kill off online casinos because banks/governments will be able to control where your money goes

 

[slot_zombie]

The whole point of crypto is to remove government and bankers' control from the equation. No point whatsoever in a government controlled coin.

I don't think the govts/banks would allow this loss of control long term; the identity of who created bitcoin is still not known, the name is a pseudonym. There are some opinions that it was the nsa, as it uses a technology they created. Part of the reasoning is it's a good way to fund black ops, difficult to trace, probably also a good intelligence surveillance tool of the underworld, tax evaders, traffickers etc...who are tempted to use it - If the nsa are able to decode it, I don't know, it's an interesting theory. Generally the govts don't tolerate unregulated financial markets and products, but perhaps there is nothing they can do atm

Crypto holdings also diverts investor's money away from gold, and there is a bit of a battle between backers of currency and gold/silver assets, govts need to sell their bonds, possibly if gold was more attractive the bond rate would have to increase making borrowing more expensive for govts.

thas the point to get controlled and not let other coins just make billion without paying any tax...

Those Silicone Halloween masks that you can buy now probably works if you want to trick CCTV.



Or you can go full Hollywood with it and buy a custom made one.
Probably costs a pretty penny.






Or just buy some makeup.
