Just wanting to air my frustration with UKGC. They have now removed stop spins from every single casino and every single slot machine for UK. Sorry but how is that helping problem gamblers? that's right it's not. Instead what it does is make it harder to win. Don't tell me that stop spins are no different than regular spins. 80% or more of me landing the bonus or hitting big wins has been on stop spins, it gives the player a fairer chance at landing something nice. Now slots have been ruined for me, you can't stop spin any slot? sorry but that is just ridiculous. They know damn well that it just makes it harder to win. How is that helping problem gamblers when slots still allow you to do £100 spins??? Absolutely ridiculous.
They are simply weeding out smaller players who can afford to spend maybe £100 in a session, meanwhile streamers that can sit all day doing £5+ per spin until they hit a massive win are not affected. UKGC have done absolulety nothing to help problem gamblers. Oh and making you wait 2-2.5 seconds now per spin, that just makes the games less enjoyable. That is literally zero benefit to any player. Don't tell me that problem gamblers will spend less because they have to wait a fraction of a second longer per spin, that's absolutely ludicrous.
So yeah I'm really annoyed about the new rules. As I said it's simply making it more difficult to win and that is exactly why UKGC have done what they have. I would set up a petition to revert these changes but seems I've seen no one else complain about it. Looks like it may be time to quit casino forever for me.
