UK Casinos

[NDG]

Which online casinos are you promoting to UK players?

We are not heavily focused on the UK market, but we do have a couple pages
that target UK players. I've noticed some of the casinos that we have listed
are now dropping the UK due to the new legislation that is about to become law.

We need to fill the space with casinos that accept UK players, and are affiliate friendly.

Basically all but a few of the DOWNLOADABLE MG casinos are pulling out of the UK.
Looks like most of the "flash" MG + NetEnts are getting licensed, as are the big UK based bookies.

Most of the other softwares don't give a toss and will take UK players regardless - and I don't blame them! Players from the UK have already paid tax on their earnings, why should the greedy government be allowed to tax them again when they spend a little money on an online flutter at a casino which is not in the UK?

It is crap now as we basically lose 30% of earnings before we even start. So if we earn £1000 total on uk players. Then only £700 will be calculated comission from

I am thinking if it is even worth all the work I am putting into a new UK website (domain). As earnings will be much lower........OR should I concentrate outside UK?

Other problem is now soon Netherlands will get gambling law as well. Seems all countries will get sooner or later. And we will all lose out on this.

Sorry should had said 15% so would be £850 left from a £1000 earnings before commission.

Although we will earn less, like you say all countries are going the same way anyway

It seems regulation is totally bad for business, as it is the same in the US right now, state by state going legit.

I totally agree.
Here in Australia people get taxed on their income BUT the Government isn't happy with that, so they slap further tax 10% onto Goods and Services (GST), then slap people with a petrol tax, cigarette tax (50% - a pkt of B&H out here is $23AUD). We get taxed on already taxed income, to the point where it's absurd and a rip-off!

What adults choose to do with their-own-money, is not for the Government to decide.

It's not about making internet gaming safe, it's again back to Governments missing out on revenue. Not long ago the DoJ was inditing people and using heavy arm tactics to fine the likes of PayPal and Neteller. We should never forget that fact!
