Done with the UK market

But the studies state the opposite

That’s because the people who do the studies have the IQ of plankton.

How does the UKGC allow casino rewards group to offer bonuses with a standard 200x wagering. With that level of wagering you're pretty much guaranteed to fail to complete it. So basically they're pretty much unwillable bonuses presumably designed to do nothing more than entice players to deposit. I appreciate all bonuses have that intent but at least with most bonuses it may be hard to complete wagering but you at least have a chance of doing so. Seems wrong to me to entice players in with an unwinnable bonus...yet I can't autospin...go figure.

Yep it's ridiculous, you have to do extremely massive bets (30-50) to even make it barely +EV on certain deposit sizes.

Early in my online slotting hobby (2020) I received a couple of emails from bet365 saying that my slot play duration was longer than the average player. I’d play for a few hours on Saturday and rarely (almost never) gamble on any other day.

Add the fact that I was playing on what was originally a £50 deposit, which I managed to print up to £1,000 over a few weeks play (I ended up withdrawing £500 after many, many weeks of entertainment).

It’s the one size fits all approach.

Morning all,

Bit of a rant first thing in the morning but now officially done with the UK Online casino market.

I was having a loosing session last night on slots; deposited £100 initially which soon went, followed by a couple of other deposits. Then switched to to table games and increased my stakes (which is normal for me, I might add) and good old lightning blackjack ripped me a new one. Deposited another £1k (which is well within my limits) to go and play roulette. The second I had a winning spin, the following attached message popped up on my account, effectivley stopping me from playing because the casino wanted me to take a break. Tried to speak to live support and couldn't get through to anyone.

I am all for responsible gaming, but when I was loosing money the casino wasn't intereseted; as soon as I hit one number on roulette for £700 I was stopped from placing any more bets. I will give lottomart their dues in that I was able to withdraw what balance I had remaining, and it was in my account within about 5minutes.

@Mark_Lottomart appreciate what you bring to the forum and the team at your site are usually pretty decent, but this just doesn't sit well with me that its ok to lose, but it feels like as soon as you start to get out of a hole a restriction is placed on the account.

Landbased only for me from now on as there are no decent casinos left with that I can play online

Had this happen to me on Bet Victor about a year ago, got in to a reasonable sized hole, but within all my set limits, was nicely climbing out hole with a few wins on roulette, then bam temporarily blocked bets for 30mins.

After 30 mins was allowed to play again, logged in to see my numbers I had been waiting for had all come in and would have easily had money back, coincidence? I think not needless to say I have not played there since, can’t be doing with that BS.

Not once have I had this sort of time out imposed while on a hot steak only when in a hole and starting to come back.

Casino’s definitely use RG to their advantage when they can.

And when they say don’t chase losses, that’s completely useless as well as EVERY single gambler does it, as effectively every time you lose your first bet your chasing losses.

A lot of gamblers think their luck runs in streaks, i can see how this would piss people off if they were on a winning session and the casino hits the time out switch on them

It’s not a case of thinking luck runs in streaks, it does.
This is the thing though they never seem to do it on a hot streak because they know when it ends you will give some back before you know the tide has turned….

Likewise in the same way they know a losing streak will come to an end and start to turn and that’s when the seem to use the time out, temporary break hammer.

Man i used to grind through them deposit bonuses back in the day if they would of timed me out i would of quit way sooner
Luck deffo has to run in streaks for a cash out to beat the playthrough requirement
Back then though they used to hand out deposit bonuses like candy and they were actually beatable

Deposit bonuses are still very much bearable, although within the UK I won't deny they've been getting worse or drying up. Sometimes I contemplate moving back to Ireland as they are pretty open (although I saw rumblings about possible regulation). Plus they sell Brunch ice creams there.

When they popped up I used to lower my jeans and beat my buttocks with a wooden spoon, while chastising myself for not having done the washing up yet. So they did work and make me realize what a naughty boy I was being.

That post has mentally scarred me for life…….Some things, you just can’t unsee.

They were still hard to beat though you needed a few good wins back then to stay in the game
First one i did was $10 no deposit sign up bonus on 32 red, and i didnt know the rules, i put most on zero and it come in
I tried to withdraw and they sent me $300 to my account (numbers may vary here but its around this and my keyboard is in us mode im uk)
So i had broke the max bet rule which they explained was $5 on one number while playing on a bonus and wished me good luck
I played it all through on roulette or about 18 hours lol betting red or black and one number as the lucky number one 3 - 5 quid a spin
I walked with around 300 quid though but it was an absolute grind

@andysbetting1187 mate can you send me a PM, for some reason I'm not able to send you one and I have news that might be interesting for you.

Duuuuuuuude. FFS!!

I just hope you didn't unleash one of your egg and onion special phaarps upon that wooden spoon while you were beating yourself off buttocks, because if you did, then you ain't EVER making that spoon clean again.....
