Autoplay removed from Crazy Time Etc in the UK, 5 Second spin times for slots (UKGC)

Yeah, I've held off on crypto but everyone is going that way now because the UKGC have made it so bad to play slots in the UK. Latest 5 sec proposal per spin. No chance. I'm going crypto.

I began filling in the survey but then realised they won't and don't listen to the players so why bother.

 
I've actually filled out the form (even though I'm not from UK) because the regulations are doing everything BUT protecting players. They're making it really hard to enjoy anything, no wonder players are going towards other options.

 
Where does it say that about removing autoplay from games like Crazy Time? You might have more knowledge from another source but I read the executive summary, and then searched for "auto" in the text body and the only references to autoplay were referring back to 2021 and talking about other "fast" games. Since Crazy Time and other wheel games take over a minute to play I don't think they count as fast.

UKGC blame ourselves for these decisions. They say all the changes made are coming from feedback from gamblers. This is laughable as we all know most rules are so stupid, how can any gambler make certain rules like no autospin. But it's true, this is how they gather information.  Also after doing some research it's also people who have a stake in certain gambling businesses they're also taking feedback from. Now imo this is where most these rules come from and I definitely think it's a disgrace to allow people who have a stake in a gambling business to have a say in what rules are made. I know up here in Scotland our gambling MP Ronnie Cowan is fighting this saying it shouldn't be allowed. 

If we want changes that bring back sense and fun to gambling in the UK, then us as common sense gamblers need to revolt and give our feedback. This is what the UKGC say.

I contacted the UKGC and they confirmed everything wrote here is correct. We should contact our local MPs or I believe there's a group you can join to give feedback directly to the UKGC

You need to plaster this on your stream tonight too. 

 
Introducing things like deposit limits and spend caps for every casino has been fantastic. This is ridiculous. Taking away autoplay and making the games so slow they're unbearable will just push gamblers elsewhere; where they are not safe. So clear they have no idea what they're talking about and are completely uninterested. Imagine playing big bamboo with a 5 second spin, you may as well be in purgatory 😆 

 
I've also heard the UKGC are thinking of having casinos check your post code to check for your poverty level and risk of harm. Honestly it's pathetic and makes me happy I stopped gambling. It's clear it's all about control

Pokerstars SKyvegas deposit limit is by age, over 25 years old is up to £3000pm over 40 years old £5000 plus pm, Also Unibet is not bad, I think 5sec don't apply to slots only cards game scratch games etc

Unibet are good. They had me on a deposit limit of £500 per month. This was changed to £2,500 wager total instead, so should I spin through that total I'm locked out for the next month. If I win and withdraw it goes as a positive against that amount. It gives the casino chance to win their money back but allows me to play as I want. I tend to have cash outs over the casinos I play at each month so when I hit my deposit limits there, I can still play.

This is what isn't taken into account. Example - I won £1,700 at Unibet from a £200 deposit. I then went on a crazy run across the casinos. At this point I haven't lost any money. Any money I am playing with is profit and this is after spending a lot of it on a new laptop and phone. The rest can easily make me hit my deposit limits at the other casinos very quickly.....as I'm playing with winnings and not my own money. There should be accommodation for when you are playing with net gain winnings.

Ladbrokes and PartyCasino are quite generous with their deposit limits.

if you win big on Partycasino you get blocked right away to £200pm lost limit, Last year I won about £6k in one night, I cashout £5k the next day I won another £4k, 2 days later I got an email, your new lost limit £200pm wtf 

The same thing happened on 21casino after I won they blocked me 

Unibe is not bad at all, they have a lot of slots C/S is very friendly

 
Unibet has been my home of play for 4 years. Never had a problem there. Pay outs are really quick, game selection has improved, no crashes and as you say c/s are good. I'm nearly £30k down over that period but a lot of that is profit from elsewhere so not too bad.

I'm up £8.33 over the past 3 months on PC. Not quite at the banned stage  :D
