Online casinos that allow British players without an income but substantial funds

[Blaggitt]

I have been playing roulette sporadically for the past 25 years with varying degrees of success, or, to put it another way, losing!  Actually, no, in truth I've probably broken about even overall.  I have spent the majority of those years testing strategies, most of which fail long before I ever even think about placing an actual bet.  So, I am not a reckless gambler who enjoys the thrill.  I always stick to stop loss and win targets, I hate losing and the feeling I get when I win is mostly relief.  If a strategy doesn't work, I stop playing!  So I haven't played online with real money for several years.  However, my latest strategy is showing very promising results in the testing stage and so I would like to give it a try online with the lowest chip values to start with and see how it fares.  It was only when I joined a couple of casinos that I realised that recent regulatory changes, imposed by the control freak "nanny" state, have impacted income-based eligibility for casino participation. Now, given that I have practically retired but have a substantial bank balance that can comfortably support my living expenses until my pensions come into effect, I am seeking clarification on whether I am permitted to make a deposit of merely £200 and engage in casino gaming, given that I possess in excess of £110,000 in financial resources.  Would the fact that I don't have a steady income, but do have a significant financial cushion to support my lifestyle, deny me the opportunity to make a deposit, play and, in the event of winning something, withdraw my funds without issue?  I have contacted support with a few of these casinos and asked for clarification but they are unwilling to commit to a definite answer about this, insisting that they will ask for verification at the point of withdrawal of any money.
Could anyone kindly offer an opinion as to whether someone in my circumstances would be permitted to play and, if so, could they recommend any casinos in particular where I might stand a better chance of being allowed?

It is indeed a very unwelcoming situation to be in, but that 'nanny' does many things that 'kids' simply don't like. 

Only experienced players residing in the UK may be able to give reasonably accurate answers to your questions @Blaggitt, especially when it involves Source of Funds (SoF) and Source of Wealth (SoW) matters as in your case.

First of all gambling should never be considered as a source of income. UK is currently on of the most affected place because of gambling related problems. The gambling limit law has been set to help those people and you ended up being a victim of circumstances. There is nothing anyone can do.

If you are looking for casinos where you want to play then there are lots of them and you can also use VPN to play at these casinos. Videoslots, Vavada, Flappy, play fortuna, winz are a few of them.

@pinnit2015 and thank you

[Blaggitt]

Thank you for your replies and suggestions.  Blackjax, you mentioned some casinos where you think I might be able to play and there are others.  Why these casinos?  Is it because they are not regulated by the British gambling authorities?  Does it follow that many other casinos not regulated by the British authorities would also be casinos I could use?  According to Askgamblers' reviews, Videoslots is regulated by the UK gambling commission, so why that one?  Playfortuna and Winzz don't allow British players which is why you mentioned using VPNs but wouldn't these casinos ask for identification at the point of withdrawal of winnings?  How would I get past that?

Apologies for all these questions but I really want to know.

You can play at any casino which are not regulated by British provided they accept you. I thought playfortuna and winz  accepted british players as they allow vpn.

Regarding vpn casinos, vavada does not ask for Identification as long as its a big amount.

Verification is a major step in getting your wins so that you will have to pass for most casinos. Just talk to live chat first and ask if they allow UK players.

@Blaggitt  I strongly do not recommend using VPN...you may likely run into some sort of problematic issue later on!

The very few casinos that do allow the use of VPN simply want to get many more new customers, then using all kinds of delaying tactics not to pay winnings to these customers! There are numerous 'hidden traps' used by almost all casinos I would say, so we need to be alert and be aware of them!

Using a VPN to play at any casino using real money is FALSIFYING the info of where you are playing from...and falsifying info is actually ILLEGAL!!!

@Blaggitt do you have any problem with giving your Passport selfie and documents to a non UK licensed casino? If no, then I might just have a casino for you and the Casino manager will be there for you on a simple request provided they accept UK people.

@Flappy_aff1 do you accept players from UK.

Hi Blackjax & Afi4wins

Thanks again for your recent responses.  Think I'll leave the VPN option alone then, lol!  I don't want to falsify anything, quite happy to be honest and accurate about nationality, location and what funds I really have, which isn't a fortune but definitely enough to venture a few hundred in a casino without any effect on my finances.  It's the equivalent of having £1100 and spending just £2 leaving £1098, it shouldn't be a problem!  But, depending on how I get on trying some more UK casinos first, I may well need to join the non British regulated casinos and provide the passport and other documents if that's what it takes.  The Flappy casino option looks promising, so thanks for the suggestion.
