It’s all being done to compensate for the loss of taxable revenue on the fobts. The government announced a whike ago that the tax from online would Increase to 21%
Ironically, the punters who move from fobts to online won’t really be affected as the games will just play “normal” to them but people who predominatly online have started to notice differences
I also heard a rumour a while ago that future affiliation deals would be affected by the tax increase but I don’t have the full details so can’t really give a full comment on this. Might do a bit of research later if I can be arsed and when I’ve finished the ironing and looking after Mrs W. She has man flu. When I get it I get told to stop moaning but now she has it it’s a full blown emergency.
There seems to be a view that the lowering of the stakes will make FOBT players rush online. Something I don’t think will happen.
The RTPs on the FOBTs won’t change, most FOBT roulette players will be happy that’s gone and finally I think It’s a different community
Ive never played online in my life and never will. When I’m in the house I have plenty of other stuff to occupy me, The bookies is more social, you are among people etc etc – it’s just a personal view but I can’t think of anything more boring than sitting in the house pressing a slot repeatedly – might as well surf pornhub, it’s cheaper and more fun
