Basically it's tuff luck to consumers ! I had accounts at 3 sites operating without uk licences they were owned operated by condor gaming , be I joined them before the law came into force and continued to use them up until a month ago , I was advised by ask gamblers they were operating without uk licence , this rang alarm bells and I contacted them and they were fully aware of this law , but they did not close my accounts or suspend them , I was not aware if the uk law but they were and they continued letting me play with not a care in the world to the law , I contacted them several times I believed I was due a reimbursement of sum kind as they made an error allowing me to play but infact suggested that I report them to uk gambling commission !!!!!! What happens if I hit the jackpot ??? They got me over a barrel !? I can see there response would be along the lines of dear sur we cannot pay out your winnings as u are uk player which would be breaking gambling laws !!! But they can accept uk deposits and players. It's totally wrong it's not our job as players to check every legal term and condition is above board ! I paint cars iam not a soliciter lawyer and joined as they were recommended through ask gamblers. ! Ask gamblers advised me also they are not responsible if a casino they recommend isn't legal , ask gamblers must bear sum duty of care to do relevant checks and have correct info and licences before they promote and advertise these casinos , there is nothing we can do as players to fight back if the casino isn't operating correctly !!!! Ask gamblers will also continue to promote all these sites and I hope everybody is aware they do this fir real money and for every transaction we make through joining casinos through ask gamblers for the life time we hold the casino account they get at least 10-20% of every £1 €1 or $1 we lose
