Online gambling has become a disgrace for UK players

These decisions which are effecting not just the enjoyment of online gambling but anything enjoyable at all is coming much higher than independent Governments, call me a conspiracy theorist (I don't care) but there's enough evidence to know the entire earth is ruled by a very evil One World Government and presidents/prime minsters are nothing more than puppets following orders.

Every aspect of life from smoking, drinking, meat, travelling, driving, gambling, nightclubs, music, sugar drinks, raves/concerts and our general freedoms is being destroyed by these satanic powers.

If you think online gambling is getting bad, towards the end of this year they're making massive radical changes to high-street arcades and bingo halls also. We then have the dreaded cashless society getting implemented as we speak and digital ID soon to be launched and once that happens say goodbye to your freedoms.

Life is changing massively, we're firmly in George Orwell's 1984. Agenda 2030 / The Great Reset.

The best thing is simply DO NOT COMPLY - If an online casino persists with asking for financial documents/wage slips/tax documents/savings etc simply say no and close the account.
i completely agree people need to wake up

I thought pragmatic had it right with the ante bet on the likes of madam destiny and buffalo Megaways etc charging an extra 5p on 20p and 10 on 40p etc. That felt a fair compromise. But that was allegedly for a double chance to gain a feature entry.

Now u seek to be paying 50% more but with no real explanation of exactly what extra chance u get.

I’ve tried it on 10p stakes on those god awful bass games and it just seems a complete piss take.

I’d want to see exact chance %ages of features before I ever did again.
 
It's not just slots which have got worse to the point of complete boredom, but the general customer support offered by pretty much all UK licensed brands. There really isn't one which truly stands out anymore, there always seems to be at least one major issue with all of them. The staff who respond to emails & live chat are completely robotic, there's a lack of personality, understanding and compassion. They are completely fixated & obsessed with terms and conditions, rules and regulations. They never apologise or want to listen to feedback to improve. Management are nowhere to be seen nor interested in engaging with players. They have this entitled attitude and tend to look down at players rather than understand we're keeping these people in jobs, they need to be fully trained on the importance of customer service.

They don't care about losing players, they don't question why people are so often resorting to time-outs, self exclusion and Gamstop but merely assume everyone has a gambling problem when in fact they're fed up with piss-poor service, technical issues, poorly paying slots/or triggering features, issues with deposits/withdrawals.. Funny isn't it that 99% of brands never question why you're taking a break or closing an account, but accuse you of having a gambling addiction. I mean if I owned a casino and suddenly seen account closures are 50% up on last month, I would want to know what's happening and why! Maybe just maybe they have a rogue member of staff or a game has a malfunction and isn't triggering bonuses, or that players cannot reach customer support after 8pm etc etc. Each time a player self excludes/time-out I would ask them to complete a short survey, if it's not linked to a gambling problem a manager should intervene immediately and remedy/listen to the issues that player has to avoid losing them forever.

I'm also sick to the back teeth of seeing so many white hat gambling websites, Leo Gaming Plc, Skill on Net, L & L etc. No brand should be able to have more than say 3 websites, I would like to start seeing more independent casinos online rather than these huge groups which have dominated things for to long. Either way gambling online/offline will soon become near impossible with whats coming with CDBC/Digital ID/Social Credit Score etc. So I guess we just need to suck things up for the short amount of time we have left.

To conclude they're all just clones of each other and the majority of players are well & truly fed up with all of them and they seem to get away with treating people like shite day in / day out.

I have just started playing the bass game since coming back to gambling , But I never use the extra bet although it doesn't seem to be available on all the bass slots where I play , The reason why I don't do the extra bet is because I tried the retro sweets slot where you can bet extra to have scatters come in , I was betting 10p but with the extra bet to have two scatters on every spin it was 20p I think , Sorry I only tried it once so can't remember the exact bet , But it went through £40 in lightning speed , So after that experience I was like no not again.

Retro Sweets is the absolute worst example case of this extra bet nonsense. The cost for the guaranteed 2 scatters nowhere near outweights the decimation it will do to a balance and it's complete bollocks that increases the bonus chance at all. I've gone through 20p base bet with the 2 scatter turned on and it did £100 in about 10 mins with no bonus.
 
Sorry I got it wrong , I just went to check the retro sweets game , If you bet 10p a spin but choose to have two scatters come in on every spin it's 40p a spin , no wonder it went through £40 really quick and I didn't get a bonus.

Virgin Games is not so bad actually and Bet 365 seem to leave you alone, they ain't perfect but far better than the competitors.
 
yes bet365 is not bad but CS is very bad
Think I spoke with two different support agents on CS, I felt like that wanted me off the chat asap with the usual... I couldn't care less attitude.

Best thing with Bet365 keep ya head down and enjoy the website experience & avoid CS lol.
 
Well damn. L&L group stocking new hacksaws at 92% was a bit of a shock. Is this really becoming the new norm? 94%s were bad enough but the fact that has started creeping in on what I'd consider a reputable casino brand is a worrying sign.
 
I'm hoping you are able to see where things are going generally in life, although this information has not been made fully public just yet... it's going to happen, step by step... they don't tend to make huge changes within a short time, they don't want to awaken the masses to the dark agenda they have planned.

Either way CBDC when introduced (a cashless society) the Government will have full control over your finances and how you spend the money. Every digital pound will need to be approved by the Government, alongside your human social credit score (like China) and digital identity/15 minute cities. Under the European Central Bank (ECB) have proposed the Digital Euro and will have the following features:

* Users be allowed to spend no more than 50 Euro per transaction
* Users have a maximum monthly spending limited of 1,000 euros
* Users have a limit of 50 transactions per month
* Users have a limit of digital euro holdings max 3,000 euros
* Be programmable, so the Governments or central banks can impose spending restrictions
* Can only be spent at government-approved merchants
* Be programmed to expire within a certain amount of time
* Not have anonymity as a viable option

They are testing this now and will roll out fully by 2026.

For now boycott cashless businesses and use cash as much as you can.

You have more power than you think...don't obey.
You sound like a bloke that I know
 
I don’t bother much at all nowadays but I do have the odd session on Bonanza and DoA. All I can say is how the **** are Evolution getting away with the shite they are churning out? I played Bonanza at Betway and I kid you not, I have seen the game produce some absolute filth over the years, but nothing and I mean, nothing that comes close to the shite they’re running there!

It was so bad, I thought I had better check the help files to double check it was the 96% (ahem) version. Strangely, it doesn’t even say.

That's the wrong tab of the HELP file.

You are both wrong.
Its not the right place, but its not the wrong tab, you are both on 'dot' 12.

On the version that Snorky is playing you press the (!) button in the top left corner to see the rtp.

Things were better in the old days when we all just played Microgaming slots in the Viper client and the RTPs were a closely guarded secret.

You could open a help file on Viper games, the tedious small-type white sheet with rules in it for the RTP iirc. I'm sure I had all their figures before they went html 5 flash on QuickDire and later Games Global.

Not right back in the olden days, at some point they had to add RTP in (regulation change perhaps?), but I remember back when The Osbournes was shiny and new (good slot that!), there was no mention of RTP anywhere.

I'm talking back in 2007-2008, something like that.

Mind you, it turned out that when all the RTPs were made available, MG basically ran all their games in the range 95-97%, so pretty good really.

Now Microgaming is Apricot, see below, lol. I was confused first with all those changes. Their .co.uk site redirects to this:

I'm guessing they're doing pretty well since their glittering glass palaces in the capital here on the IOM are currently undergoing another upgrade.

Remember in Sim City where the same buildings could get upgraded time and time again to be better versions of themselves? Like that.
