To be honest, I thought affiliates / streamers would be making more fuss about these changes after all it will be them who are most affected. Sitting back and saying 'it won't happen' aka NickSlots and Chipmonkz. If I was still an affiliate I would be writing to the Gambling Commission and petitioning.
The guy I spoke to at ICE from UKGC said it was a priority but the sticking point was land-based casinos were at capped at £5. So it would be difficult to implement a lower bet on this type of licence class than a B1 category. I suggested £10 limit online and he said thereabouts most likely for slot based games. Roulette/blackjack would not be limited same as land-based. I think you can do £100,000 spins at Empire in London?
Personally, I welcome £2 limits to combat the growing number of problem gamblers in the UK. It would certainly stop people copying the silly bet sizes that the Bandit and streamers do.
That’s the thing nic, as much as it’s denied and you get the clowns saying (watching you gamble £20 a spin helps me) there has been a massive spike in gambling related addiction since steaming was a thing.
i mean these lot started begging for donations to fund there streams, yes the likes of Mensa member nick got lucky with casinogrounds, but now you even have the likes of chip hitting £20 spins and trying to promote responsible gambling, streaming and RG is a oxymoron.
yes they can afford to do it, but really can they? Without the constant bonus reloads and possible behind the scenes deals I don’t thin many could at all, that’s without affy earnings mentioned.
its so far removed from the reality of gambling its comical, said before and its relevant to the £2 max stake limit.
What kind of person would class that as ‘normal stakes’ 500 spins is £1000.
most people would class 500 spins at almost a normal session.
a tiny percentage of folk can afford to lose a grand a session.
when I’m in work offshore, I do get v good money, but at over a grand a week I’d struggle to play with £2 being my ‘sensible stake’
Obviously I’m so against streaming it’s clear for all, this wasn’t jealousy based or anything else, the early days I enjoyed it until the lies and clear deception started to happen, all to take losses for your own gain from a fellow human.
I’ve spoken to affy managers, had proof of lies and deceit, then have the streamers ignore it, block you and label you a troll.
The dark side of this is there are many viewers whom will and do think you can win playing slots like these parasites do, that’s people losing families, lives, jobs, cars whatever.
as proven on here when chipmonkz was called out, he lied about abuse towards him and ran a mile without addressing a thing and I was banned..
no matter how you look at it it’s a grubby business streaming, not something that would sit right with me in bed of a evening.
anyhow hope this latest rant doesn’t get me banned again, was rather restrained I do think.
if youre buying, im drinking
