Feels like the whole scene’s changed lately — between new rules, KYC walls, and crypto sites popping up everywhere.
Are people still sticking with the old-school bookies like Bet365 and Paddy Power, or is everyone jumping over to crypto casinos now?
Also, are welcome bonuses still a thing? I keep seeing offers that sound good but turn out to be trash when you read the fine print.
Would love to hear how folks here are actually playing in 2025 — what works, what doesn’t, and which platforms still feel fair to use.
Yeah, I’m here, just not finding much support. My crazy wife put me on nonstop exclusion lists, and I still love spinning blackjack or slots on Friday nights. I don’t care what she thinks.
Found some weird startup that gives 500% bonus — no idea how they don’t go bankrupt, but as long as it works, I’m using it. Even with my terrible luck, sometimes I manage to pull some cash out, though that’s not the point.
I’m not a big casino guy, been to Vegas once when I was younger, but I swear the most honest casinos are in Finland — 97% payout rate. At least they put gambling money into social projects and refugee support, way better than how the UK just keeps raising property taxes and screwing its own citizens without giving us even a slot to play.
___How about realising you have a problem?
Because no one wants to support an addiction. Would you be supporting a heroin addict in finding their drug?
Uhh, yes, I would support heroin addicts finding heroin, it’s literally how the most successful drug treatment programs work.
I won’t support it, but I won’t ban it either. There’s always been a percentage of people prone to addictions—it’s been that way throughout millennia. And that fucking Puritan morality has never helped anyone deal with it. Why the hell would it work now?
