Still don't love having to prove my income to place a bet.

But Conor's answer about the friction.

And Oli's point about fifteen years of nothing.

Finding it harder to hold the position I started the thread with.

The upcoming affordability checks are one of the biggest changes to UK gambling regulations. While the goal of promoting safer gambling is important, many players are concerned about privacy, financial checks, and how these rules will affect their experience. It will be interesting to see whether the reforms strike the right balance between player protection and personal freedom. Looking forward to hearing different opinions from the community.

The UK is running an experiment the rest of the world will watch.

Whether the checks reduce harm without collapsing the regulated market or driving significant offshore migration.

Two years of data will be more useful than any of this discussion.
