The previous government, following the white paper release, introduced a max stake of £2/5, no sign of this as of yet. When will the new government introduce this? some casinos already have it in place but some continue to go crazy on max stake!
 
Damn delays..... Look at all the Dunover Bonanza videos we've missed out on now :p :p
LOL I quit anyway, bored with it months ago, not played since early August. Don't miss it at all, regardless of stakes.
 
Probably April
I should think the operators want to know when it is as well as the software/slots need to be updated. How are they going to amend the max stake from £5 to £2 for under 25s, that will be interesting and I imagine that may take some time to sort. Apparently if a casino can't do it then it will be £2 for everyone.

integrations have changed where a value is send upon game start, this will decide the max stake as per age in account. I've already completed this change on our end, so when it becomes mandatory all I need to do is wait for the providers to change stake limits on their end.

Its already tested on staging too, where it works for all operators, except games global :)

I did read somewhere that it looks like it will be February for legislation to become active in April 2025. The there are the loss limits of £250 per month per casino. Seems like a lot of work to be done still, but if you say you have already tested it and ready to go I suppose other casinos have done similar
 
Not heard of this one... there is a similar one where they are doing background checks for £500 per month (which will reduce to £150 at the end of February), but that one was already deployed across the online industry in August 2024.
Ah sorry yeah it was £150. I have been on a few and they ask me for proof of earnings etc when I hit £250 loss over the month. It can be frustrating as if you deposit another 50 pounds you may be able to get the 250 back, I suppose everyone loses out, but the protection of the player is what is important. I can see the whole industry changing a lot in the next 6 to 12 months
 
The max stake on that game should be 50p. You could still lose a fortune. Just shows how not with it, these governing bodies (if of course they exist in the format we are led to believe), are.

In all honesty, what percentage of the population can afford to do £100 spins and not miss the money? It’s very easy to lose £20 playing at 20p in15 minutes. Convert that into £100 spins and you’re looking at the very real possibility of losing 40k in an hour. Who the hell can afford that?

Roshtein, Chipmonk off the top of my head :p
 
But, can they or is it the Casino’s money and they’re just the promo guys?

Obviously my joke "fell on stony ground" mate lol, They're just 2 of the biggest (and fakest) jokes in the iGaming universe.

No one and I mean no one who isn't a multi millionaire could sustain play at those bet sizes.

Even if I was a MM, I wouldn't play those bets, not even close to them.

Being really strict, I also feel developers shouldn't even offer those bets, it's just asking for trouble, not that they care.

and that is why within a few months they won't be able to anymore once secondary legislation is finalised by the government, it will be 2/5 pounds max. But still at 2 pounds or 5 pounds a spins you can still lose 1000 pounds within 20 minutes! However I think that will be the maximum you will be able to lose anyway (if that much even) as there are the loss limits per month coming in as well so in reality you can maybe lose about 6k a month across loads of different casinos and then they will ask for proof of earnings etc then people will just walk away instead of giving that info!
 
Ah, I don’t watch streamers for the obvious reason, that from what I gather, it has to be fake. That’s what I mean about regulators. How would anyone in their right mind, who knows anything at all about slots, authorise £100 spins as being “okay”?

They obviously realised that they got it massively wrong with FOBTS and hung on until they could do nothing else before reducing roulette from £100 to £2 and then go and repeat the process online. Absolute joke and a complete bunch of clowns.
 
yeah the thing is it knows if you do the odd 40 or 60 pound spin, it will pay about x10 on a bonus and you think wow what was the point. The RTP has come down and this is all in preparation for what is about to happen next year and i think April could be the time they do it and it is all active
