I agree that this purchase of NoLimit is probably not going to be a good thing at all.
There has to be diversity and if one larger group are buying all the other “smaller” providers, there will be no originality in the games. That will drive people away.
i will say one thing, I do think NoLimit needed a change. The last 3/4 releases have felt tired and almost a reskin of the previous ones - but the change of being bought out by Evolution is not the one I would have picked!
Darn. I didn't realise the industry was so brutal.
I would akin this to Disney buying Marvel - if Marvel had said 'no', remained their own entity and continued to churn out the quality films they did. They'd be the biggest independent studio going. Instead they are part of a corporation that doesn't care about core values.
Money makes everyone jump. The originality and core value at NoLimit will disappear. I expect and their brand will be basterdised. Look out for the new live 'Prison breakout' game based on San Quentin and Folsom series.
I do think that deposits/stake limits etc need to be looked at, to protect those in need, but it needs to be on a person-by-person basis. They can't put us all into the same bracket and have a £2 flat limit online.
They are indeed driving people to the black market casinos and that will cost the player more hurt than if they stayed in the UK market.
I think the fact it's mainly managed by people who hate gambling, is the biggest issue right off the bat. I have a friend (cousin's partner) who works for the UKGC and she admits it is a mess. She said in their meetings they name and shame those who write to them saying they have gambling problems and have a laugh about it. But also there are some of them who are obsessed with bringing casinos out of business.
The lack of joined up thinking by the UKGC is staggering and matched only by the lack of consideration of the unintended consequences of their proposals.
One can only marvel at the stupidity of a suggestion that would drive problem gamblers to other forms of gambling where higher stakes were permitted with Roulette of course being the obvious example.
The underlying issue is that it will end up with a two tier system of either unprofitable regulated casinos or profitable unregulated ones. How in god’s name would that protect problem gamblers?
Like every job there ever was to be done - it is only worth being done if it is done properly.
Player passports regulated by the UKGC is the ONLY way to go. The costs would be considerable and paid for ultimately by gamblers however the underlying safeguards would be effective. The ISP’s would have to be penalised for allowing anyone in the UK to play on an unregulated site.
None if this is easy however if a job is worth doing it’s worth doing it properly.
my son spends a lot more money gambling on some bs FIFA cards than I spend on gambling, you can still do £10-£20 bet but you need to do SOW, not sure how casinos they going to deal with it, making different slots for high bet players with open bet on £10-£20 and same slots for low bet players under £2
another side MP`s asking for £100 pm limits
soon most casinos will pull out of UKGC and we all go to crypto casinos, and UK will lose 3b tax income from gambling
The UKGC are clueless. One of their most stupid changes they made was removing the sound from a win if it is 1x or less. Can anyone explain what that did to aid someone to gamble sensibly?
If they input a £2 maximum spin stake it again does not do anything because it does not matter what stake you are spinning, what matters is the total amount you spend. An affordability check should make no relevance to how much you spin per stake but only to how much you can deposit within a certain timeframe. It does not matter whether you are spinning 20p or £2 or £10. If you deposit £500 and that is the most you can deposit at the casino and you do 50 x £10 spins or 1000 x 50p spins - it doesn't matter!!! Add to that you can go roulette still and put £500. Add to that you can be signed up at multiple casinos so you can deposit over £500 anyway. Their entire way of thinking is dumb. Bet no-one on their board that makes decisions has experience of gambling. They listen to all the problem gamblers that can't take responsibility for their actions, seek to blame anyone but themselves and are bitter towards the casinos because they lost.
For so long I have been considering to write a letter to the UKGC to point all this out. Maybe it should be done and signed by members here to give it some weight in the number of people.
Yeah is always good to see the casino rep poke their head above the parapet in make the effort to engage with players on these sorts of forums 👍
Does make me more intrigued as to what the set-up is and how any online casino picks which games to host. Do they pay a set fee for each and every game regardless of how much it gets played? Pay based on set amount of use, so the most popular slots will see a much higher amount paid to providers? Are some providers hideously more expensive than others, explaining why you may see some slots on every site you visit and some are a lot more elusive?
Appreciate it's different with new releases and expect a premium is payable for places to have a few weeks / months as the sole host of the latest big release given it'll drive extra traffic to the site, but always surprised that 6+ months down the line you see most casinos still lacking a significant number of popular games. Even more so when they often continue to host so many junky old games that you struggle to imagine anybody wants to play!
This isn't a criticism in LV at all btw, or a criticism at all, just my curious mind and lack of industry knowledge 🙃
Really appreciate how involved you have been with the forum as a representative PG-LVC. I had a notification for free spins. I know you are working on the RTP with the providers. I'll start playing if that gets resolved.
What are your withdrawal times like if verified?
Riches for robin is the game I got them for.
Hopefully in time the game selection gets expanded as well... as a Relax gaming fan it is sad to see them and Push amongst the brands seemingly absent from the site, as well quite a few more recent releases from the likes of BTG and NLC missing.
BTW does anyone know what game the free spins are for on the sign up?
First stream back tonight and playing at Las Vegas Casino - 525.6x (50p) on Secret of Dead! Not bad

As if Micro Knights ever pays that on 40p 😲😵 congrats on the hit!
To confirm, one entry per person?
Blimey! haha
Wow! Very very generous! Get your wins in! I’ll be playing Thursday so if I get the top 5 wins…. Haha
