agreed but will be painful transition for operators who built business models around offsghore market access
lots of crypto casinos gonna need complete strategic pivots
the interesting question is whether irish licenses will be recognized by other eu countries or if operators need separate licenses everywhere. as single digital market was supposed to make this easier but gambling always gets special treatment :rolleyes:
makes sense cuz google's been gettin pressure from regulators about illegal gambling ads for ages. guess much easier to just filter results than deal with complaints from every cuontry
classic regulatory capture. The big boys probably lobbied for this behind the scenes meanwhile us punters get worse odds and bonuses cos theres less competition. Brilliant!!
Seems like Evolution's infrastructure can't handle peak traffic while they keep adding new tables and games instead of fixing existing problems. The "malfunction voids all pays and plays" clause in their terms basically makes them immune to compensation claims even when the fault is clearly on...
oh that sucks mate. technology always displaces workrrs but gambling industry seemed immune til now. what about poker rooms? those still busy or dying too?
hey there, you know im not surprised like at all. these companies always oversell new markets then act shocked when theres political blowback. us sports betting expansion went same way. promises of billions in revenue then reality of taxes, restrictions, and compliance costs
there is something in that. no wonder i keep getting bonus offers right after i have bad days at work or when my social media shows im stressed. always wondered how they knew exactly when to send those "special offers"
feels like we're being hunted
The margin creep has been happening across most high street bookies tbh. they know casual punters will still bet with them out of habit
what annoys me more is how they restrict winning accounts so quickly now. hit them for £500 profit and suddenly your max bet becomes £2.50
they lost uk gambling license back in march cos their logo appeared in some dodgy adult content video. ukgc investigated and basically told them to fk off. had to shut down stake.uk completely, now uk players have to use main site which is more hassle
hey which evolution table are you playing? some have different rules
infinite blackjack has slightly worse odds because of the forced hits on certain hands, regular tables are better
😂 but no joking they did want ridiculous amount of documents utility bills bank statements payslips birth certificate felt like applying for mortgage just to withdraw £200
yeah banks get paranoid about gambling transactions now especially to foreign companies
paypal definitely best when available but youre right most uk casinos dropped it after the regulations
visa fast funds usually under 2 hours for withdrawals when it works trustly instant deposits and withdrawals very smooth bank transfer as backup slow but never fails
avoid skrill personally had...
