They aren't dead here. Wagering on UK casino bonuses has been capped at 10x since January, which if anything made them easier to clear. Whether New Zealand does anything similar I don't know. I haven't seen it in anything that's been published.

A word of caution on checking that list: those are company names, not brands. Even where the parent is obvious, Betway holds three rights and Entain's Playvia two, and I haven't seen anything saying which brands will go forward. For Rock Swift Group or Rush Entertainment I couldn't tell you the...

Who found it doesn't change what the Land Registry shows. And the wider leak was reported by Follow the Money with NDR, NRK and the Guardian, none of which had a UK political angle. In fairness to your side of it, the reporting itself contains points that cut against the headline: Cottrell's...

The leaked files themselves haven't been authenticated by the CGA, which has said it won't repeat figures it can't verify. That's a reason for care with the details, not a reason to dismiss them. What I find harder to explain away is that the officials noted the loans were never evidenced and...

As far as I can see ICONIC21 hold Malta and Romanian licences, not a UKGC one, so their tables won't appear on British sites at all. Pragmatic's Prive Lounge version is a separate question. I haven't come across those tables on bet365, though I haven't looked very hard either.

@chapman has the important part. Once you double you receive exactly one card and your hand is finished, so there is no decision left for that card to inform. Face up or face down, it is the same card from the same shoe and the dealer plays to the same rules. The odds don't move at all...

I think both of you are right, but about different things and the disagreement is about labelling rather than about roulette. @Taekim is correct that American roulette is a legitimate game with its own following, and correct that removing it would annoy people who choose it deliberately. Nobody...

It is not a pitch, it is a description. I have not told anyone in this thread where to play.

Because it is the same argument underneath, and I will put it as plainly as I can since there is a genuine question buried in forty posts of preference. Everything anyone wants from a casino splits into things you can check before you deposit and things you cannot. Games, bonus terms, wagering...

That is a fair hit and I would not argue with it. The mixed product ban removes a product that suited some people in order to reduce harm to others, and the people it suited are entitled to be annoyed about it. I would still take the trade. But I am not the one who lost the offer.

Wrong, and easy to demonstrate wrong, so let me use the thing I actually know about rather than arguing about regulators in the abstract. Bonuses. Since 19 January this year, a UK licensed operator cannot set a wagering requirement above 10x on bonus winnings, and cannot offer you a single...

I would gently suggest that is the wrong thing to optimise for, and I say that having watched this exact reasoning run its course on this forum more than once. You have spent this thread arguing that more hands is more chances. It isn't, and the faster the table the faster that becomes...

Single most useful post in the thread, and it deserves more than a like. A percent on blackjack is enormous. The difference between 99.54% and 98.8% is more than doubling your cost per hand. If a player cannot establish which of those they are sitting at, then every strategy discussion above...

Four times the hands is four times the exposure to a negative edge, which is four times the expected loss per hour. The chances were never the scarce resource. That is not a dig, it's just the arithmetic that makes speed the single most expensive variable in any table game. If you play a 99.4%...

A debit card in your own name and money you already have. Which, read uncharitably, is a conspiracy. Read any other way it's just the list of things that were never a problem in the first place.

The operators pulled them voluntarily in most of those cases, before any rule required it. That's a commercial decision about chargebacks and processing costs dressed up as responsible gambling, not a regulator taking something off you. Though six states have banned them outright for online...

The credit card question has a cleaner answer than the gambling arguments around it usually allow, and it isn't really about gambling at all. A gambling deposit on a credit card is normally processed as a cash advance. That means no interest-free period, interest from the day of the...

Since the tax argument keeps surfacing in pieces, the actual position as it stands today: Machine Games Duty - 5% on the low-stake machines, 20% on most of them where a play costs up to £5, 25% where a single play can cost more than £5. Those bands haven't moved since 2015. Nothing has been...

Those aren't in conflict, though I understand why it reads that way. Like-for-like conventionally strips out closures. It compares the same venues against the same period last year, so on the usual basis the three they shut wouldn't be in the 5% at all. I haven't seen Rank spell out their basis...

Or a registry received a complaint about a site publishing eight hundred people's due diligence files and acted on it without knowing the context. That's the duller explanation and it fits the same facts. I don't know which it was and neither do you.
