It's well overdue. As I have highlighted previously on here , I can spin up to £150 on some slot games on Jackpotjoy  which is worse than your £100 roulette spins. What percentage of players can afford to do that size of spin??

I prefer 10p a spin on Book Of Dead, White Rabbit or 9p on the DOA games but they won't let you do that with bonus funds. If they are going to pay they will pay at any stake.

I haven't used a credit card to deposit for over 20 years, it was in the online poker boom a lot of cc firms started block gambling transactions and then withdrawing any winnings was too much red tape. Limiting players on one site is ok, but an affordability check needs to be linked like a credit check. Then real addicts will find their way back to FOBT and arcade slots. There are too many casino sites, more the ones that appeal to mobile players, and some of them are terrible with their playthrough requirements ie junglereeels 65x.

I’ve said for a long time that this was coming and that it wouldn’t be long before the government went after online casinos in a big way. Especially as they base themselves off shore the tax revenue to HMRC is low anyway.

Thats the like if the Bandit et al well f***ed if that comes in.... Shame....

[DaveM]

Bandit yes but not Nickslots. He'll just piss off to some dive apartment in Malta funded by the casino where he can be an employee pretending he is gambling

The thing about banning credit cards is that casinos might need to stop accepting PayPal & Neteller deposits as well, as these wallets can be funded via credit cards.

In general, it's a good idea of course. But implementing it might be rather challenging. Rather like that p0rn block thing, which has been quietly dropped.
