New UK regulations - what changes are you seeing???

[Peggy_Bo]

heya UK fam! noticed some proper weird changes at my usual casinos lately n wanted to compare notes with other UK players... lots of confusing stuff going on tbh!
what i've spotted so far:

stake limits seem different everywhere?? some sites max £2 others still let me bet more
bonus terms got well confusing... some places stopped giving bonuses completely??
my fave slots suddenly "not available in your region"
weird popup about "reality checks" every 20 mins
mandatory loss limits that cant be changed for 24hrs
some sites asking for bank statements now??? wtf

anyone got a proper breakdown of what exactly changed? also which casinos still decent for UK players now? my usual spots either closed to UK or changed so much they barely worth playing anymore
also any1 know if these changes permanent or temporary? proper miss my high stakes slots... might have to use vpn at this point (jk jk... unless? )

sis don't even think bout vpn instant ban + funds locked if they catch u... not worth the risk fr fr

innit proper annoying... but tbf the reality checks helped me cut down spending a bit

From what I understand, these changes are permanent. The Gambling Commission has been quite clear about the new rules.

Best to stay compliant with regulations. These rules are meant to protect players, even if they seem restrictive.

@alomond98 but why they all implementing different limits?? proper confusing

Some sites are being extra cautious and setting lower limits than required. Give it time, they'll probably standardize eventually

 

[beckisback]

kewl thing is loyalty programs still work same as b4... just gotta adjust to lower stakes

 

[FernNewton303]

hun the bank statement thing is just for affordability checks they only ask if you deposit over certain amount x

These regulations are quite similar to what we have in Germany. You will get used to them after some time.

The £2 stake limit isn't universal yet. Depends on how each operator interprets the guidelines.

 

[Peggy_Bo]

but like... some of my fave games are just GONE??? anyone know if they coming back??

 

[monic@]

oh hun, same here! lost all my fave Blueprint slots... apparently some providers didn't update their games for new rules x

 

[rachel_g]

omg literally same! but tbh the new stake limits helped me manage my budget better ngl...

 

[simoncat]

Let me summarize the key changes I've observed:

1. Max £2/spin on slots (some sites)
2. 24hr cooling off on limit increases
3. Enhanced affordability checks
4. Mandatory loss limits
5. Regular reality checks
6. Restricted bonus offers

@danadc any idea which sites still offering decent bonuses for uk players??

Sweethaert, most sites now only do free spins or small matched deposits xxx reality of new rules unfortunately xx

 

[FakeOrgasm]

Pro tip: focus on sites with good loyalty/rakeback instead of welcome bonuses now. More sustainable anyway.
