Regulation

Rule changes that reach your account: tax, credit bans, deposit limits and self-exclusion, reported for players rather than for the industry.

What regulation covers

What regulators changed, when it took effect, and what it means at your cashier. Every piece here is built on the regulator's own published documents, and where something is still a proposal rather than law, we say so on the page.

regulation Sweden Bans Gambling on Credit and Rebuilds Spelpaus Two Swedish rule changes landed months apart and both hit the player, not the boardroom: a full ban on funding gambling with borrowed money, and a rebuilt technical standard for how operators query the Spelpaus self-exclusion register.
regulation Dutch Deposit Limits and the Mandatory Contact Moment Dutch-licensed sites cap what you can put in each calendar month and must phone or chat with you before you set a higher limit. Here is what that looks like from the player's side of the cashier.
regulation The UK Gambling Tax Rise and What It Did to Bonuses The duty on online casino revenue nearly doubled on 1 April 2026. Operators cannot pass a tax bill to you directly, so they moved the parts of an offer that are not fixed by regulation. This is the chain, step by step.

Play responsibly

Gambling is entertainment, not income. Set a deposit limit before you play, never chase a loss, and stop when it stops being fun. If it has become a problem, these services are free and confidential.
