I've never liked that message, [I know that's perhaps not the point] also why only have one message, why not 3 or 4, a bit of variety could have a bigger effect, the same message just goes in one ear and out the other.

With most slots it takes a while for the fun to begin let alone stop, it's not instant fun getting 10 dead spins off the bat when you start playing a game.

And when the 'fun' stops or shows no sign of turning up in the first place, I normally switch to another slot to see if that will give me some fun instead.

Perhaps we could come up with some serious and not so serious alternatives? 'when you've done your ****** in stop'

All gamblers should pause and reflect what RTP is, realize low RTP is NOT FUN and stop gambling if it is lower than 96%

Lets face it. The UK Gov dont want to stop the fun. They'll create a decent revenue stream. They put all the warnings on the ciggie packs but if they truly wanted to fix smoking and cancer caused by they would ban it all together. 2/3 days of a bit of trouble and that would be it. They make too much money from these monsters they create, its all a smokescreen and they like to be seen doing something pardon the pun.

The reality is that the logo is silly and a 'D' should be added (not the Gold D).

"When the Funds Stop, Stop!"

'cos that's simply the way it is for problem gamblers.

I found something interesting out.
I have a neurological condition called Dystonia, and just within the last 11 months my symptoms have gotten really bad. Long story short, my brain is not producing enough dopamine, so it's now being replaced. When I was doing research on low dopamine levels. I found this.

I'm curious to the ones that have severe addictions, gambling being one. If they have ever been tested. Mine is smoking. Even with all my health problems, I just "don't get it". Maybe this medication will help that

It's a crap and disingenuous slogan that that's about as basic as it gets, whilst companies get to say they're promoting responsible gambling.

Should really say "Gambling's bent, don't waste your money"

For some people it must be like being pregnant with a little gambling baby. Its all fuzzy and warm at first then it starts to feed off of you like the parasite it is and then you become fed up and just want it out before it finally comes out and starts screaming and taking all your time, sleep and money!!!!

That would make a better advert i think!

sorry to hear about your illness @bebo67 and i wish you well. Fascinating article also.
