The UKGC ban on credit card payments to gambling companies came into force on April 14. Will this change any gambling habits?

UKGC Ban on Credit Card Transactions Comes as Online Gambling Activity Spikes

This is a good thing. People should not be able to gamble with money they don't have. Credit card deposits is an easy way to get in serious debt. Should have been done a long time ago.

That said I think people will still find a way. Bank loans for instance. Or worse loan sharks.

Came to this thread finding out about this ban. I play in Coral poker and they told me recently they don't accept Neteller Skrill anymore. This means for me a lot of trouble because I don't have a bank account in GB.

I wonder if they could have manage this problem setting limits on the number/amount of deposits. It is so easy to ban and prohibit. The difficulty comes when you have to make things better without taking away people's liberties.

I play for fun, small amounts, and this prevents me from keep playing at Coral. What's the point of playing with real money (even small amounts) if I cannot withdraw?
