No problem for me. I rarely spin for more than a quid a spin when I play down the pub. If I play online I bet about 20p to 50p a spin depending on how much money I got left in my account. If I start running out I can go to 10p slots. I dont know anyone who bets £5 a spin at the pub or online. Must some rich folk out there not happy about it I'm sure.
Same as you, @asmitty. I don't do spin bets that high anyway, so I'm not really bothered. I wonder how it affects streamers, though, who pretend they bet 100s per spin. They can't BS us anymore, which is good.
They haven't affected me in the slightest. I don't do £5 spin bets. Crazy amounts that is!
Who bets more than £5 a spin? I am sure there are some super wealthy people that do. No doubt. If I had the money to burn I know I would. I think the limit must be affecting some players.
@roulette101 Obviously converting from my own currency, but I don't think 5 GBP per spin is all that high. 500 GBP sessions with 100 at 5 a pop. I could see people doing that more often than you may think. I've spent more than that in a session and know many others that do.
Wish I was rich enough to bet £5 a spin lol. Won't have any effect me. Max £1 at the pub and about £0.25 to £0.40 when playing fruties online.
