one site. one bloke. and from that we get a national technical standard. that's not me being dense that's me asking why the answer to a site mislabelling a button is eleven months of consultation instead of a fine. they had the power to fine them the whole time and the timing is them wanting a...

and that's the whole thing isn't it. he can set one tonight. tonight, before any of this comes in, because the button already exists that's my objection and nobody has answered it. the tool was there. this is a rule about what the tool is called

hell yeah they point in opposite directions still they arrive from the same building

more tools. always more tools. nobody asked for this. the people who want a limit already set one and the people who don't wont, and meanwhile the tax went to forty percent and my odds are worse and that's the actual change to my life this year

because there's no penalty for it. a warning isn't a fine. 3 weeks on and whats changed. colins still waiting

it failed. thats the part im taking

no its their fault for accepting it and then acting surprised five years later. if colin wasn't good enough it shouldn't have been good enough in 2021 they took his deposits for five years with that name. suddenly it matters when he's up £340. that's not a systems problem that's a business model

both of them are the same government bill

and thats why the bonuses shrank. all this compliance costs money and the money comes out of what they give us

convenient framing that. by that logic they could cap the cashout at a fiver and you"d still call it an improvement because the wagering is lower

so the rule that was supposed to help players made bonuses worse. shocking. absolutely nobody could have predicted this every single time. they announce something to protect us and six months later were worse off than before and the same people are back on telly explaining how its a win for...

so french racing is a product and kempton is a culture..right

coming back to is the horse racing exemption. why does that get protected. genuinely explain it to me because i cannot come up with a reason that isn't just who knows who. a bloke losing his wages on the 2:40 at kempton is doing the same thing as a bloke losing it on a slot, the only difference...

ok yeah 40% FORTY!! so i put a tenner in and they take four quid off the top before i've even spun anything and this is the same lot who spent two years telling us it was all about protecting vulnerable people. affordability checks, bank statements, prove you can afford it. now suddenly they've...

closing thought and then im leaving it. i've argued for two years that the checks are the problem. after reading this properly i think the problem is they've built something that watches everybody and protects nobody. you get the friction of being monitored and none of the benefit of anyone...
