<div class="bbWrapper">The thread title is the ONLY reason these fools operate.<br /> <br /> Nothing to do with safe environments, protecting players etc, plain and simple money grabbing greed, dressed up as a huge pile of stinking BS!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I would hazard a guess that only a tiny fraction of the money will actually end up being spent on worthwhile resources. I recon the cash is probably going to CEO’s of these organisations and expensive lunches. <br /> <br /> We will probably never get to know the exact specifics. <br /> <br /> Everything is just worse for the players in the UK right now, the sooner the UKGC is officially denounced not fit for purpose the better.</div>
