Hi guys,

Surely this cannot be legal/in line with MGA guidelines.

The aspire group is charging between 2% and 4% fee per bet?

Not only do they charge withdrawal fees but now this.

A 400 euro bet on immersive is now costing me €16 to place!

I had to Google this as never heard of Buywin before, though from what i found i would guess your playing on a German casino: 

https://igamingbusiness.com/gaming/online-casino/aspire-launches-buywin-feature-in-germany-to-lower-tax-burden/

It basically sounds like German operators have had to start paying higher taxes and thus lowered game RTPs to compensate - this BuyWin feature is essentially you paying more money to cover their extra tax expense and then you're allowed to play higher RTP games again - i guess roulette would be covered too as house edge is generally lower than the 5% tax they gotta pay.

Overall, in my opinion I'd say it sounds like a pointless scheme as you're paying a premium to help cover their tax liability that wasn't there a few years ago - possibly there maybe an option in Site Settings to disable it but then i would assume you're put back on lower RTP. Hopefully someone more familiar with it can advise you on whether it's worth playing or whether to find new provider.
