UK Regulation - Has It Affected You (Poll)?

[Simmo!]

The intrusiveness of the source of wealth requests have made it a negative impact for me. The what seems endless supplies of documents goes a little too far in my opinion. When Skrill transactions to and from a single UK bank account are not sufficient, you are left to think what other purpose there is considering that UK banks already have very stringent money laundering tools in place that would and should have caught any wrongdoing way before the casinos touch the money.

This is actually one of the things I expected to come up more - the documentation / KYC stuff. The idea of signing up to somewhere new and having to do all the KYC before I can deposit would put me off because historically when I have done this I don't know if the operation is going to be what I am looking for at that stage. I preferred to play for a while, see how they do things then decide whether to stick around.

I think it is overall a good thing though. It can help with problem gamblers who could just sign up to any casino and deposit after reaching their deposit limit on another casino. It is not so easy to do that now. It also prevents alot of withdrawal stalling and underage gambling. Being able to gamble before anyone knowing who you even are seems strange.

Hasn’t affected nor bothered me one bit.
The casinos that closed are hardly a loss, the market is saturated as it is.
The SOW for the casinos I use was painless and frankly no bother at all.
Have no issue showing payslips etc, even the lack of auto spin doesn’t bother me as I’m never in that much of a rush.

Not affected me at all. Even the latest bonus buy removal has had no effect as i never brought them . Bonus buys always seemed dodgy to me...what was the RTP on those buys?

I agree with playford7. The UK market is saturated with online casinos. So while it may be a slight inconvenience to have to sign up to a new casino because a certain group leaves,i still don't have enough fingers to count all the other casinos that are still around.

But it will only get tighter and tighter for UK players. With the recent move to remove bonus buys,they are going to have to reduce slots and table games for the move to make sense.
