Twitch ban

If UK streamers are to be banned on Twitch surely its just a matter of time before YouTube follows, suit? It's complicated but as far as I can see anyone streaming slots with the £ sign in the bet or balance section will be blocked. Which means basically no streams on Twitch from UK streamers. Some streamers in the UK have been streaming slots from casinos NOT recognised by the UKGC.

i think the twitch thing is because kids can watch it live , theres no way to lock them out by age , another nail in yee old coffin 

And yet in my home town of Southend, there’s no age restrictions for playing low stake fruit machines on the seafront which has always confused me. They seem to be approaching the problem from the wrong angle.

I remember going down there as a kid in the 80s/90s and losing all my money on Tuppenny Nudger, Monopoly, Andy Capp and Pink Panther... and today’s kids can still do the same.

I’d forgotten about loot boxes, even taking into consideration inflation, they’re gambling a lot more money than I did! Every few weeks there’ll be a news article about how a 10 year old spent £3k on their parents’ credit card....

Once a year or so, I’ll pop down the seafront and play some old classics on 5p play. Rollercoaster, Italian Job, Monopoly, Big 50.... 99% of the time I lose, but it’s always fun to have some interaction with the game with holds, nudges, playing the feature.... good times 🙂

There is also a lot of pressure for kids to 'subscribe' @ £5 a month to their favourite gamers to get extra features on twitch and YouTube, you see people dropping 20month subscriptions where they get a live 'thanks'. People also drop 'bits' = dentations. it's crazy. 

There is  a lot of pressure on youngsters to keep up with the Jones online..... all needs funding.
