An interesting study by the UKGC has revealed that players in the UK tend to choose black market online gambling sites for the following reasons:
- The ability to play with cryptocurrency
- To access games not available on UKGC-licensed online casinos
- For better sports betting odds
- To get around a GAMSTOP self-exclusion
- To avoid maximum bet limits for online slots
- To avoid deposit limits set by affordability checks
Also, not mentioned in the official UKGC report, some players prefer to access non-UKGC casinos because they can use Auto-play, Quick Spin and Bonus Buy features on slot games.
Here is what I am wondering
- How many Brits in our forum also play at non-UKGC casinos?
- If you have, or ever have played at a non-UKGC casino, can you tell us why?

I regularly play at non-UKGC casinos for a few of the reasons listed above. To use crypto and to avoid the limits and checks. Their own regulation is the cause of so many people doing the same as me.
I play mainly cos I like to use crypto but i still play at lots of UKGC casinos as well
They needed to do a study to tell them that? Blimey o riley.
The only thing I'm interested in is the maximum 10x wagering requirements rules coming in.

Yeah, but you know the promos will be like 100% up to 30 quid or something lol

Yeah, promos in the UK are already small compared to what they can get at MGA and Curacao casinos. They're gonna be tiny.
Bonus buy is one reason I play at non-UKGC casinos, its a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine even if I know its not a good one to have. Just waiting for that one big NLC win to come my way lol.

TBh, I don't trust myself with those, so its one thing I'm glad they've outlawed here.
Not long to go until all this comes into effect. What do players think, will this just funnel more people into the black market?

Maybe some, but others might like having fair wagering rules.
I try to stick to UK casinos as I want to help the economy, but even I'm tired of it all now and might make the shift. Heard there's some solid sites out there, though i have to be careful.
And now with tax hikes and the casinos likely to pass them through to players with low value bonuses and lower odds - what a time to be a UK gambler 😀
