these popups has genuinely gotten out of hnd

if watching this from the US perspective and it's a genuinely strange thing to observe. you have a legal regulated gambling market operating with more restrictions than most illegal offshore sites. at least the illegal ones respect that you're an adult who knows their own limits
 
The underlying driver is political. Regulators need to demonstrate action on gambling harm to satisfy ministers who need to demonstrate action to constituents. The incentive isn't well-calibrated policy. It's visible activity. So you get blunt instruments applied broadly and what matters is that something was done, not whether it worked.
 
because it's designed to be. make the experience unpleasant enough that casual players self-select out. reduces liability, reduces complaints volume. customer attrition framed as harm reduction. accidental policy success
 
maybe both. clumsy compliance software that produces outcomes convenient for operators trying to reduce acquisition costs. doesn't need to be coordinated to land the same way
 
has anyone found any organised pushback to this or is it just forum complaining
