I very recently read a news regarding how one has to prove that , they can afford the loss of even 100 euro.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54941310 Now I was going through the news and found some indepth idea of how the casinos will be regulated online. The one am sharing is regarding the slot games being regulated online in Great Britain.
https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/slot-games-in-gb-to-receive-betting-and-deposit-limit-suggests-a-new-report/ -Mandatory limit between 1£-5£
-Soft cap of 100£ monthly
This changes a lot of things like :
Gambling content
Gambling affordability
Licenses for gambling
Gambling tax
The regulatory framework for gambling
This is paving a new way towards centralization of online Gambling sites by the government.
The report suggests the implementation of controls for online (remote) gambling. According to the paper, limits on both stake and speed of play need to be introduced. Online slots should have limits of £1 and £5 per bet. On the other hand, according to the report, non-slot content should receive limits on game design. This is because if non-slot content receives bet limits, it may become: “commercially non-viable.“

The authors of the report further outlined a suggestion for the implementation of a “soft cap” limit of £100 per month on deposits. According to them, this amount represents the sum of what gamblers spend but it also introduces a “socially acceptable” spending limit per threshold. Such limit ensures that spending on gambling does not exceed poverty thresholds for lower income households, says the report.
^ This one I might agree with somehow , as it will control the gambling addiction but at the same time it won't stop people from using other methods to gamble . They will just hide it from the government and use sites which doesn't follow up and end up getting scammed.
But 100£ cap is too low.
According to them they are looking forward for controlling the gambling of low income households and for the high income households they want to show them how they have to control their habits of gambling per-se
People are not bots.
They are very aware of what they are doing at the same time they could have opened the care system or something for them instead of controlling them like this , Because at the end of the day they cannot influence each and everything just like that .
It is done with good intentions but forcing people to follow rules will never go well with anyone.
What is your take on this ?
This news actually paves a way further into how the governmental bodies plan on regulating the online casinos especially the crypto ones .
