Gamblers in the UK are increasingly choosing non gamstop casinos UK because the Gambling Commission places too strict restrictions on them. Yes, the regulator has good aims: to reduce the risks to players and reduce problematic addictions. But in some cases, its decisions have the opposite effect. Players leave for foreign platforms.

A similar situation occurred in Sweden after new gambling legislation was passed. In 2019, the number of Swedish enquiries regarding casinos without connection to the anti-gambling scheme had increased dramatically.
