the part that gives me the creeps is banks being able to block payments to operators they decide are illegal. thats a bank making a legal determination about where your money can go i know its aimed at offshore sites. it never stays aimed at what its aimed at

90% passed to the customer and they still call it a tax on operators. its a tax on us with extra steps

these scam casio net went too far where regulators with all their crap when actualy needed i ask

yeah until you try withdraw and site screw you. stick to regulated mate. ukgc ain't perfect but least you got protections

bigger concern is governments using this as excuse for more surveillance and control "illegal gambling crisis" becomes justification for monitoring all financial transactions, requiring digital ids, tracking online activity. slippery slope to total financial surveillance

this is symptom not isolated policy. broader pattern of government deciding what acceptable behavior is for citizens. financial surveillance on gambling today tomorrow its alcohol purchases - bb is watching you know. slippery slope but people dont see it until too late

now i'm confused too - what do password have with withdrawal delays?

still think the growth is temporary. chinese economy not doing great and property market still strugglin. when people feel poorer they gamble less. macau might be peaking right now imho

+1. have few friends in finland and they seem way more chill about gambling than uk. probably cos they dont have constant drama about regulation changes. veikkaus ads everywhere tho which is weird when theyre the only legal option kek

so now iwonder if this will affect global crypto prices at all? if mills of indians cant deposit to gambling sites anymore thats lot less crypto demand

this is pretty unexpected tbh but will this affect bing and other search engines too or just google? seems like operators could just optimize for different search engines if google blocks them or am i missing smth?

any idea if theres talk of adjusting the levy structure? feels unsustainable long term

casino bonuses still decent if you know what you're doing slots bonuses easier to hide than sports betting hard for them to prove you're bonus hunting when you're just playing slots with optimal strategy

The comp issue is real. Vegas used to reward gambling with perks now they want you to pay for verything upfront. Why gamble for hours hoping for comps when you can just book restaurant directly and know what youre getting? Icentive structure completely backwards now

the tax situation there is crazy from what i heard. starting at 15% but goes up to 25% on higher revenues no wonder operators are struggling when they also have to deal with all the compliance costs
