GamCare advocates for a £2 maximum online slot stake to help protect customers.

According to information provided by GamCare, the proportion of individuals seeking assistance from the National Gambling Helpline for issues associated with online slots has nearly doubled over the past five years. Taking this data into consideration and in light of the UK government's consultation on gambling through its white paper, the charitable organization dedicated to offering support for gambling-related matters is advocating for a £2 limit on the maximum wager for online slots. The information disclosed that out of the 5,660 individuals who contacted the National Gambling Helpline in the previous year, a substantial 73 percent experienced difficulties specifically with online gambling.
 
GamCare's endorsement of this restriction is in line with the wider industry's dedication to promoting responsible gaming and safeguarding players. Reducing the maximum stake has the potential to mitigate the risks associated with problem gambling.
