Report recommends £2 stake online, and lots of other measures....

I did say above 'it works both ways' as in people on both sides of the viewpoint's divide.

Yep, free play banned for UK IP's I'm afraid. I'm sure you know how to get around it lol...
Some sites will give you a drop-down to enter you DOB if from the UK, and seem to be getting away with it but I'm pretty sure that's not permitted in the spirit of things.

Haha yeah I’ll use alternative methods mate and cheers for the reply.
Also you did say both sides, noted and respect that.

And people wonder why streamers are not viewed in a favourable light....



In all seriousness, I thought you were better than that. Looks like I made an error of judgement.

Nah he’s been watching nick the pric..

That’s his idol

That’s his idol

Imagine Nick and Chip being out on a casual stroll, and then they run into Horseburger.
A fight of epic proportions would break out.

Im thinking something like this. Horseburger in purple.

Horse is alive and well too, I've read some of his recent comments under youtube vids I'm not greatly enamoured with the streamer brigade but he takes it to a galactic level of loathing, he's consistent and persistent I'll give him that...I dunno maybe he seems the harm to the public in a much stronger, clearer way than I can, so feels it's a moral mission he can't just forget about, regardless of forum bans for speaking his mind.

Yeah, he is on another level when it comes to not liking streamers.
Im not convinced his way of going about it is the right way to promote change tho.
You cant just threaten to cave heads in and burn schools down when met with other opinions.
Or i mean, you can, but i dont think it does much good. =)

I concur, there's the art of subtle persuasion at one end and horseburger's sledge hammer approach at the other But maybe I'm being too complacent and nice to streamers by not attacking them fiercely enough...who knows how many have been led astray by their antics and into the realms of dark despair by gambling losses/addiction which they didn't have before watching the streamers ?

 

[mcgameboy]

Nah he’s been watching nick the pric..

Oh is Chip buddies with Nickslots now?

That would explain the sudden increase in arrogance then.

£5.8bn lost is £100 pp in the UK.

Not a great deal tbh when its put like that.

Ban low RTP and reverse withdrawals, go easy on taxes (only a tax on net income), max bet 1% of balance, RTP shown on opening a game.

That is all the new regulations you need.

You need a lot more on financial markets and banks though! Its all gambling and its all rigged too.
And destroys everybody, not only the ones that play. I lost more than 100k after the 2008 crisis and not because of investments going bad. Simply lost income because of the austerity that followed.

I dont hate the idea, but maybe 5% of your balance or if you insist at 1% then it works on a sliding scale. Infact the more i think about it, you may as well just put the £2 spins in!

For me, make it simple. EVERYONE has to do a SOW - the limits are then applied sensibly against that. I've got nothing to hide. Infact, i done my balls in as a kid, and now i play with in my means, if it means some other idiot 20 y/o doesnt put himself into debt, then thats a good thing.

I think the Uk has a huge gambling problem.

I really don't think it's limited to the UK...

Yes but you learned from the experience.

Once you start wrapping everything in cotton wool, you breed a generation of people detached from the actual realities of the world. Whilst there should be safeguards available, I 100% believe that it should be down to the individual to implement these safe guards- whether that be deposit limits, loss limits, max bet limits or even full exclusion.

People have to take some responsibility for their own actions. People have to want to get better, not be coerced to. The vast majority of people will hit that 'eureka!' moment at some point- the point they realise they need help.

 

[Scott1baird]

gave the whole thing the once over, good ideas and bad ideas, Why does it keep excluding the National Lottery from this? this whole thing angers me so much, isnt there a pro gambling lobby group to counter all this out there? My child can go out today and decide she wants to be fifteen genders in a day but I wont be allowed to bet more than £2 at a time? I can walk into an ASDA, morrisions or coop and be hit with thousands of advertsing showing what great deals they have and spend as much as I want but I cant win more than £500? block credit cards? why bother doing that? oh wait lets not get into debt over a £100 deposit into my casino when I can just get into £500 of debt buying a junk car instead Hmmm makes so much sense. Its My money I should be allowed to spend it any way I like if I want to spunk it all away at a casino then thats my choice. if I want to spend it on a rug for the hall thats my choice. this is nothing about protecting people from harm, those people will always find a way regardless, this is about my freedoms as a person being taken away from me. Ian Duncan Smith what a prat he is he has always been the same typical tory.

Love Bandit I don't care how much he bets £100 or £1 a spin his fun to watch him and the risk he takes, and who he deals with losses, and very important how much advice it gives to players not to bet big if you can't afford, we all love to win millions after see Bandit bet like £40 or £100 and he doesn't really win big on bonus,yes he got big win on reel king gamble option same time he lost big time, for players like Bandit I don't think it will make any difference on cap £2, If he can afford to lose £30k £40k in 1-2hrs video I am sure he has no problem to fly to Las Vegas and bet as much he likes and hight bet like him for sure he will get free hotel drinks and food for free, all talk about bandit how much it spends but i so lot of streames when they get down to the last £500 the start playing roulette £300-£500 a spin and preying to god to land on their no p.s I think BTG target Bandit on their latest game millionaire mystery box with a gambling option

his latest video on £15 and £40 bet his funny when it gets big wins

 

[GameRoom]

Yet casino's have to reduce RTP due to higher taxes because otherwise they won't have enough profit

lol way we get target if casinos pay high tax lol we not responsible for casinos tax if they can't afford close down simple, but they make millions and they try to be more greedy and bs hight tax, I think all casinos owners are ex-criminals they dont care for no one they just try to make fast $$$

 

[GameRoom]

I don't think £2 cap is much of problem if they make £2 cap and still let casinos give you an option to gamble your win you lose all you win in 1 click gamble option should get removed and every game should have min win on bonus or extra 10 spins like you get on prime is abet stupid spending so much to get 1 bonus and you walk away with 5x or 10x win or play for 2 hrs on Lil Devil to get big bonus and you walk away with 5x win
