Hello guys, are you into online gambling in the UK? If so, you may have noticed some changes in how online gambling sites work lately. That’s because the UK government is planning to tighten the rules for the online gambling industry soon. Here’s what’s new:
- The government is going to make online gambling firms pay a levy to fund research, education, and treatment of problem gambling.
- The government is also going to make online gamblers prove that they have enough money to gamble without harming themselves or others.
- The government is also likely to limit the advertising and marketing of online gambling, especially on TV and social media. This may include banning betting logos on football shirts and reducing the number of ads during live sports events.
- The government is also going to lower the maximum stakes for online slots from £100 to £2 per spin, to match the limit for land-based machines.
These changes are meant to protect consumers and prevent harm from online gambling, which has increased during the pandemic. They are also meant to update the UK’s online gambling laws with the latest technology and trends. So what do you think of these changes? Do you think they will make online gambling safer and fairer? Or do you think they will spoil the fun and freedom of online gambling? Let us know in the comments!
