Hoped the UKGC might be self isolating for a few months, seems not

There goes the UK industry - first sports, now this.

sensible, stop keeping score, keep it fun, free from competition and everyone is a winner. Eliminating the evil temptations to wager on sunday's game with 'friends' despite the potential danger and destruction it rains down on homes and families. Protect those who can't or won't protect themselves. it's only civilized.

next up, ban drinking and any other whispering snake on the path of temptation..
strip them of all wages, possessions and freedoms if need be.. caring for, protecting and helping all those under their watchful gaze and firm hand is indeed the entire point of government in the first place isn't it

Since bonuses extend play time, next decision will be:

Ban all games with RTP > 90%

Because if the RTP is higher than 90% the deposits last too long and people risk to get addicted.

Edit: Not far from the reality. Red Tiger is already at 92% because of all the taxes and fines.

I'm assuming this is an April Fool as there is no reference on the UKGC website and the quote from the GVC Director isn't in this post and is also in rather bad taste. Perhaps I'm wrong?

No I do not think you are wrong am sure it is an April Fool. Would not expect a director to make a statement like that.

I would - if you remember the distasteful Paddy Power ads in the past, i.e. the betting ad on the outcome of the infamous Oscar Pistorious trial.
