UK Casinos Face New 2025 Rules - Good or Bad?

[cocopop3011]

The UK Gambling Commission are once again cracking down with strict rules and here are some of the things that will affect UK players:

1. Mandatory Deposit Limits

From 31st October 2025, all operators must ask players to set a deposit limit from their first deposit. However, this can be adjusted later, but they are aiming to tackle problem gambling from the get-go. 

2. Vulnerability Checks 

Operators must now run affordability checks. If you spend over £500 a month, you're likely to be flagged for a check, but the plan is for this to drop to £150 a month in the future. 

3. Adjusting Game Speed

This has been in the pipeline for a long time, but there will be no autoplay or ultra-fast spins, net spend must be shown in real-time and operators must show how long you have been playing.

4. Safer Bonuses!

Wagering requirements are now being capped, and operators must make it easier to understand what you need to do before you can withdraw winnings. 

Operators who break these rules will now face harsher fines!

What do we think about these changes? Will mandatory deposit limits and slower gameplay actually make gambling safer, or will it take away our fun?
