I derive a fair chunk of my income through poker and even playing at medium stakes I can have swings of 1-2k usd/day. I play on a site which is purely for poker, no sports book or casino attached, and it's ukgc regulated if that's any help. As @Denman says it is only proposals for when they review the 2005 Gambling Act, To be honest I would imagine everything would be far tighter if Labour get in as more of their senior people are pushing for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you see it on a Gambling Related Harm APPG Report or on the UKGC Website it is bullshit and the only people talking about it as if its actually happening are shit for brains.

The FOBTs were capped under a Conservative government who also ignored the UKGC's recommendation for a limit of £30, were they not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Tories agreed to cut it and like you said they were not going to hit them so hard and then kind of got squeezed and reduced them to 2 Edited November 23, 2020 by philinvicta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I would think the online gambling industry has a lot less friends in Parliament than the high street bookmakers do. Of course the high street bookmakers have a vested interest in online gambling also. But they are not daft, with much stricter regulation, removal of the white label scheme etc etc the vast majority of these casino's are not going to survive in the UK market, but guess who will? The bookies. If I were the Ladbrokes CEO I would be sending Carolyn Harris and co boxes of chocolates every day pleading with them to go extra hard.
