UK Gambling commission issued fine to Bet365

[BillGates]

I saw recently Bet365 which is a major UK online giant been fined for over 500 000 GBP for failing SR and failing anti-money laundering measures besides the fact, that things getting tougher in the UK for online players, you know with lower betting limits implemented etc etc.

I mean this Fine is nothing huge compare to the previous fines I saw years ago, Casumo and Videoslots.  

I think soon most casinos will withdraw from the UK market...

Any UK players here, how is gambling lately from that side?

Yep I have to agree here. I mean years ago we seen a massive drop in casinos when a huge bulk dropped out and I honestly believe we're going to lose a lot more. 

What I do find ironic with these new betting limits is that I can gp into a shop and buy as many scratch cards as I want, or put as much as I want on my favourite horse or boxer to win a match.  I've not actually looked into the extend of these new betting limits to be honest because I have always been a low roller anyway so it's not about to bother me.

This is what we call the hypocrisy of laws!

And what does AG do, add them as a contender for a vote beween , I don't know which prize can be obtained.

Stake.com is also on that list.

Long time blacklisted websites like Spinsbro, tsars and Smokeace stay within the top 10. 

I even saw

Finally, we have selected the finalists in the Best Partner category (which is not up for public vote):

• Bet365 Partners
• Boomerang Partners
• Fortunate Partners
• Grande Affiliates
• Mate Affiliates
• Novi Affiliates
• Partners.io Affiliates
• Playamo Partners
• Royal Partners
• V.Partners

Bet365 for Pete's sake...but they have deep pockets , Playamo casino and playamo ... do they even have credible casino left?

I honestkly can't vote DAMA and ALTACORE casinos.

The Gifts handed out in favour and intended to be voted amongst the final top 10 were profitable for Smokace  and Wazbee it seems but even with paraphrasing the deal in cooperation with AG was false and yet ...there they are as well.

Ginving them a real penalty for the methods used and communicated misleadingly should be reason enough to deny them entry in second part leading up to the final vote

But thet can try again next year if the improve this.

But they won't budge because before the end of the tyear they are closing Smokace after having fraudulently amassed complaints about them not paying out?..

[rolls eyes] I told everyone way back when I was still kicking it in Malta Pick a Island and move away from UK rules 

or it will sink your business I wasn't saying it for fun guys ok : now there's a few options here I heard of an Island north of 

france and then there's Curacao but look don't anyone push you around time to stand tall and for Jurisdictions to maybe 

kick certain rules to the corner what affects one effects the other . 

 

You've heard of gold and silver towns ? well they dry up because of just these reasons I mean come on if you walked into a gambling 

joint run by Al Capone .....Alphonse was not going to be standing there asking how did you make your bread its a stupid law and with 

this two dollar maximum time has come for folks to make a stand tell them where to get off .
