none of yous retarded cunts can explain how what i say is wrong. Yous all just seem to think because something is the way it is now that it will stay that way. Lol. Plus yous are narrow minded clowns with no real understanding of how the real industry works. You will all understand a lot more in 2021.
I can…
I work in gambling. UKGC wont restrict streaming on Twitch or Youtube. For three reasons.
1 – It can be restricted by the sites for over 18s. Just like porn. Or… vaping.They have performed the regulated task of making it hidden from public consumption. Same as alcohol and cigarettes. Its just online so easier to get around.
2 – The sites have no legal obligation to do fuck all. UKGC can control the act of gambling. They can control the age of gambling. They cannot control who watches gambling. Thats not even close to feasible. Anyone can walk into a casino with ID over 18. Anyone can in Vegas. BUT – once you start betting or gambling those stakes are controlled by the regulators. NGC, UKGC, MGA, whoever. They impose themselves on your actions, not your eyes.
3 – They can ban TV advertising before 9pm (I am a fan of this, I hate kids getting into gambling) as it affects children. Twitch and youtube with the 18+ get around this.
So while i admire your ideas, and your points are sometimes accurate, the end result here is a made up idea.
What will actually happen is UKGC will continue to impose large fines on casinos for DPA/GDPR/AML breaches. They will then start to impose more fines for advertising (Which is starting now). This makes them their money. Some also goes to charity, so thats cool. While this happens smaller casinos and licences will pull out of the UK due to increasing costs and regulations, restrictions on bonuses and platforms, and the VAT costs (huge). This will leave a monopoly by GVC, Paddy/betfair/stars/fanduel/skybet/skyvegas/whaetver else PPBF owns, and sites of a size of casumo. Shit videoslots are considering pulling out of the UK.
Question – why 2021? And what “real industry” do you mean by your statement? Bit vague, give me a bit of detail?
