UK Gambling Commission has taken it upon itself to restrict gambling in the online slot machines. The new rules are likely to be applied by the end of October this year. They are aimed at reducing the addictive nature of gambling. Some members of British parliament are against the restrictions. They think the commission is not well-equipped to handle such a huge number of gamblers. Gamblers in UK have spent as much as £2.2bn on slots. It is estimated that 70% of the games available online are addictive. UKGC has already targeted the fixed-odds betting terminals around the UK and will now tackle the Online betting scene.
New restrictions in UK ban reverse withdrawals and gambling companies that participate in sports or darts gambling. The restrictions have received criticism from some sports authorities. The use of credit cards to deposit funds into online accounts has already been banned. An age limit has also been set for participants in the National Lottery.
