Didnt get answer about payment method properly. If debit card thats 1-3 days anyway while instant bank transfer should be 20 mins tops. Visa fast funds usually under 4 hours
OK that makes sense Bill, easier to get to Macau makes more visitors and leads into more gambling. What i don' get is how they keep growing when mainland China is so anti-gambling. Thought Xi jinpings corruption crackdown would have killed the high roller market permanently
Just keep using whatever sites you used in uk mate. As most crypto casinos dont even know what country ur in unless you tell them
only difference is you might want to avoid sites with obvious Finnish marketing cos those could get targeted by authorities
tbh the dutch market has been getting more restrictive anyway. They bannd untargeted gambling ads last year, now only allow marketing to over-24s. Wondering if it will make some good or just make it unprofitable to operate there legally
Fair point Bill, this enforcement mechanism sounds pretty comprehensive tbh. Thats why sites like Stake have customer support in hindi and accept rupee deposits. So if India seriously blocks access could be existential threat for some operators
Still its only netherlands so far but probably coming to other countries soon. Dutch regulators basically forced google to do this. Created reporting system where people can flag illegal operators too
So this is badically regulatory capture - big operators can handle the costs, smaller ones get forced out
Saw couple sites offering "last chance" bonuses before shutting uk operations. Writing's on the wall
There are competitors like Playtech and Pragmatic Live but Evolution has 70%+ market share and most players prefer their tables
Problem is Evolution basically sets industry standards for live dealer gaming.
It's not easy money anymore. Bonus hunting involves taking promotional offers from betting sites and using mathematical betting strategies to guarantee profit regardless of outcome.
Basic example: Site offers £10 free bet when you place £10. You bet £10 on Team A to win, then lay the same bet on...
The pricing strategy is backwards. Vegas used to make money by getting people to gamble, now they're trying to make money before people even start gambling. Once you've paid $300 for room and $100 for dinner, that's your budget gone + everyone knows the odds suck compared to online so why bother?
Partly agree as your point makes sense,but the growth rates suggest online will dominate eventually
33% vs 4% is massive difference. Even if they serve different demographics, those numbers suggest land-based is becoming niche market
Basically sites that let you buy "gold coins" to play slots but give you "sweep coins" as bonuses that you can cash out. Legal loophole since you're not directly buying the cashable coins
Been using them for years since NY doesn't have real online casinos. This is massive if they're all getting...
The timing of their marketing is too perfect to be luck. Got divorced last year and suddenly started getting way more aggressive bonus emails and push notifications. Coincidence i think not
Really makes you think about deleting social media accounts or better quit gambling
Normal betting is win/lose on match outcome. DFS is stuff like "how many kills will TenZ get" or player performance stats
Problem is some states treat them completely different legally even tho they're both gambling at the end of the day
UK doesnt have this problem cos UKGC covers everything...
100% what will happen. you'll see tiny main sponsors paying peanuts and massive sleeve sponsors from bet365
the whole thing is performative bullshit to make politicians look good while not actually solving anything
