UK Credit Card Gambling Ban Comes into Force

The UK Gambling Commission’s (UKGC) ban on credit cards has come into force on April 14, 2020.
The Commission said it is an important step forward in protecting the 10.5 million people who gamble online from harm – with statistics showing that 800,000 individuals in the UK use credit cards to gamble. Research also highlights that 22% of online gamblers using credit cards are problem gamblers, with even more suffering some form of gambling harm.
“This credit card ban will further protect consumers from financial harm and from today, nobody in Great Britain can use a credit card to gamble. It is a ban which ultimately reduces the risks of harm to consumers from gambling with money they do not have,” Neil McArthur, Gambling Commission chief executive, said.
“The ban also comes at a vital time as we are seeing an increase in the use of some online products, such as online slots and virtual sports, and our online search analysis shows an increase in UK consumer interest in gambling products since the lockdown began. This highlights just how important it is for gambling operators to keep people safe and the credit card ban will help that. This is another milestone and we will continue to look for ways to make gambling safer,” Neil McArthur added.
The Commission also reminded operators that they can only accept customer payments via e-wallets if those e-wallets prevent credit card use for gambling.

Creedroomz Introduces Cashout Blackjack

Â
Creedroomz has launched Cashout Blackjack, a new version of its popular Live Blackjack game designed to redefine player engagement. This major update features a groundbreaking Side Bet Gamble mechanic, a completely redesigned UI and other key enhancements that deliver a new standard of excitement.
The Side Bet Gamble is an industry-first feature that gives players total control over their side bet winnings. Unlike traditional bonus rounds that are passive or tied to specific game events, this optional decision occurs only for players who have won a side bet, right at the end of the round after the last dealer card has been dealt. Players are given a choice: Gamble their winnings for a chance to double their payout, or Skip and keep their original amount. This high-stakes, real-time decision point transforms every win into an exhilarating risk-reward moment.
Cashout Blackjack also includes a suite of powerful updates:
Sleek New UI: A fully redesigned interface built for seamless usability on all devices.
Rebalanced Side Bets: Payouts have been rebalanced to make side bets more compelling and rewarding.
Auto-stand applied on hard / non-splitable scores of 17, 18, 19 and 20.
The new Cashout Blackjack, complete with the Side Bet Gamble feature, is now available to all Creedroomz partners. This launch underscores Creedroomzâs strategic vision to provide partners with groundbreaking tools that ensure they remain at the forefront of the competitive iGaming market.
