We all have our favourite providers, but I'm curious about the flip side - which providers do you see and immediately close the game? For me it's NetEnt these days. Used to love them but everything since 2020 feels like a lazy cash grab. Dead spins for days and when you finally get a bonus it...
@Newbie mate please dont spread unverified rumours
current confirmed rules:
- £5 max spin (25+)
- £2 max spin (18-24)
- 2.5 second minimum spin time
proposed but not confirmed:

feel i need to praise them as they filled niche that most providers abandoned. if you want simple reliable slots without bells and whistles theyre here for you. dont expect them to be what they aren't ok
tbh youll probably have more options living in finland than you did in uk. no merchant blocking and banks dont seem to care about gambling transactions. just the tax situation might change in few years when they get the new system running
makes sense cos esports bettors usually actually play the games so they understand mechanics better. like i been playing cs for 10+ years so i know which teams good on which maps, player roles, economic rounds etc. gives me edge over bookies who just set odds based on basic stats
