LOL I quit anyway, bored with it months ago, not played since early August. Don't miss it at all, regardless of stakes.Damn delays..... Look at all the Dunover Bonanza videos we've missed out on now
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.
How are they going to pay for the bubbly at the shareholders meeting now? No wonder they are dragging their heels...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 similarintegrations have changed where a value is send upon game start, this will decide the max stake as per age in account.

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.
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!
Well, yeah. Even GameArt demos don't pay out like that.
I was talking about my COD cheats, sorry i went on the wrong thread sir, That win is real I assure you just like santa clause, dw.
- It's not real???
150 quid.. barely is a few days of shopping at ASDA, let alone sainsburys...
I still don't think these will come in until April. Definitely won't come in as early as January as there isn't enough time. It will be April at the latest given they need to give operators 6 or 8 weeks to implement the changes on their systems. But looks like something is actually moving now, it's been a long time coming but finally they are doing something
I think so, it's easy to set the max stake anyway nothing much to that. But you can still lose a lot in an hour at 5 pounds a spin or even 2 pounds a spin. It means that RTP will be reduced even further now. You won't be able to do the hi roller stakes on the light and wonder games like 10-20-30-40-50 pounds. It was always going to be a matter of time. I opened a midnite bet account last week, instantly sent me an email saying monthly loss limit of 250 pounds unless I can show evidence I can afford more. They did a background check once I got to 250. Its going to make it easier to spend more in the casinos and bookies as well as arcades in a few months time. But I suppose it is for the best
As mentioned in the new thread on this, I don't think it'll have the impact they are expecting - because the highest risk categories right now will be watching monopoly money streamers, and those ultra-volatile slots will destroy bankrolls (and bank balances) at £2 and £5 a spin... could trivially lose £1000/£2500+ an hour chasing those 1 in 800 spin bonuses.
Not that they needed an excuse, but I guess it depends how many people are doing those kind of spins. It's a visible problem, but I suspect it's a fairly small percentage of GGY overall.
I think LnW said they were going to retire that format anyway, so doesn't change too much. I'm a little surprised they didn't rework it to be a multiple of stake - so 10p spins had e.g. £2/£3/£5 big bets.
That seems reasonable. Remember this is mostly codifying existing procedures - particularly ones that some operators were abusing (by using excessive document requests as a faux-reverse mechanism). I don't think it makes things easier or harder necessarily, but will provide more clarity.
yeah the 10p/20p stakes making it a 1 and 2 pound hi roller might come in, means smaller wins but easier to get a bonus, although those 2 or 3 quid spins will soon mount up and as you say the bankroll could soon go down several hundred within 10 or 20 minutes. But then they will stop you anyway with the loss limit amd the restrictions coming in on that. Then everyone will head off to land based casinos as they can't monitor you there like online
Oh they can... plenty of the youtube channels have mentioned they've had to do CDD ("SoW") for their level of play.
Cameras get you aswell if they see you feeding many many notes in on those roulette machines and slots as well, table roulette they know what you are doing anyway. But still think online will be easier to track. Basically 250 quid a month on each casino (although casinos owned by same brand will be across all their casinos). I suppose a handful of casinos will leave the UK market as a result
if you over 25 years old in Pokerstarts you get £5000 a month deposit limit, on loss no limits,
That will be changing in the not too distant future then
I dont thing so, Pokerstars never change any thing for many years, not sure how they do it,SkyBet also deal the same way like pokerstars
owned by the same company that's why. But with these checks coming in February next year a lot of players will have it capped anyway (unless you want to provide them with all your private info). so pokerstars can do what they like up to a certain point then I would imagine fines would be worse now. But expect RTP on slots to be a lot lower now
my deposit limit on Pokerstars is £5k daily net,but I never use it, I never know how this limit works, I thing they check credit score, post code etc,
be ok for a few months then they will be screwed
I agree with this. In shop is so much easier to lose more than online now. And next year it will be worse. People will be restricted to how much they lose online with all the restrictions coming in which have already started now, so they will end up going into arcades etc be offered more drinks and just keep spinning!
And that's why the Bookies have been scaling back... they used their own loophole (multiple premises) to allow them to have 8, 12, 16 FOBTs... because it was by far their best earner. I'm a little surprised they haven't moved into the AGC space themselves...
I dont make deposit more then £100 pm on UK casino for last 3 years, I play on Crypto casino, all this limits are stupid, I can make deposit on 10 diffrent UK casinos £300pm and still spend £3000pm
