The \u00a32 limit will significantly eat into the profits of iGaming operators and hence they were not very thrilled with the recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gvc-plc.com\">GVC Holdings<\/a> is one of the biggest gambling operators in the country and owns a number of flagship online casino brands. However, GVC did not send a representative to be a part of the six month research project nor did its CEO <strong>Kenny Alexander<\/strong> get involved or provide any assistance to the APPG. As a result, the APPG went after GVC and accused Alexander of being a coward for not showing up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kenny Alexander finally responded to those taunts and said that he did not want any criticism directed to any of his employees for not showing up to the meetings. Alexander hit back at the APPG and called termed their \u00a32 limit on online slots as ridiculous. He also said that while he had many weaknesses being a coward wasn\u2019t one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He warned the UK Government to not go ahead with these ridiculous recommendations and imposing minimum bet limits on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/slots\">online slots<\/a> would backfire as it would drive players away from legalised online casinos and send them on to unlicensed and illegal online gambling websites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Problem Gambling Not Yet A Major Concern&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons for this proposed reduction in online slot bets is because anti-gambling groups and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/news\/uk-might-have-to-treat-gambling-addiction-as-a-public-health-emergency\/\">UK government is concerned over the increase in problem gambling numbers<\/a>. Alexander isn\u2019t too worried as of now as he says that in his opinion the UK is not facing a problem gambling epidemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he believes that the UK could end up with a problem gambling epidemic if the government decides to enforce this \u00a32 minimum online slot bet proposal! Alexander believes forcing players to bet only \u00a32 will make licensed sites unattractive and send them straight to unlicensed casinos which are not
