Get bonus buys on slots brought back to the UK.
Get bonus buys on slots brought back to the UK.
Why this petition matters
Not so long ago bonus buys was introduced to slot games giving you a chance to buy a bonus game for a certain multiplayer of your bet size for example £0.20 bet 100x to buy = £20.00 of course there's no guarantee of a profitable bonus but that's gambling.
As far as I gathered the UKGC stopped these buys as it had a increase in problem gambling.i understand the reasoning but I think the decision was maybe rushed and not considered all sides.
I like most I play slot games for a bonus game that's part of the entertainment, however if I deposited £20.00 and played on £0.20 which is the equivalent of 100 dead spins I am not guaranteed to get a bonus, infact I personally have done up to 1400 spins without a bonus which is the equivalent of £280 but if bonus buy was available I could just of hit buy and been much better off... £260 better off.
I'm just a casual slot player I don't do it for a living or to make extra money just for entertainment and winning is a added extra. But I chase bonuses on games for hundreds and hundred of spins the more I don't get it the more it makes me think it's due. Buying the bonus eliminates the chase.
There's always the argument that bonus buying leads to more bonus buying but not getting a bonus leads to trolling the game till you do get one or run out of gambling funds. 6 of 1 half dozen of another?!
There's many more factors to consider when looking at this issue like roulette for example has absolutely massive max bets u can lose your house in 10 mins you can't while buying bonuses ( well not in 10 mins )
I personally disagree with the bonus buy ban and I'm hoping I have you all with me! Let's get as many signitures as possible and approach the UKGC with our petition and findings see if they would maybe consider reversing there decision and bringing back bonus buys.
Let me take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for signing and even just for taking a look.
Thank You All !!!!
