so same as UK made some rules, now australian or at least Victoria want to make new rules about limits in gambling and some other things! at leas this will happen till 2025. , so players will have time same as casinos to set up new rules! ofcourse I am against all rules that will slow down players and to strict them how much they will spend, how much they will bet per spin and other things! we will see reactions from australia!

It's good that they want to introduce some rules to prevent addictions, but on the other hand it can be frustrating for players... I'm not a fan of it, and it depends on what it would look like. Because of all these restrictions and taxes, the game becomes more burdensome and less profitable... It used to be a paradise for players when gambling had no restrictions almost all over the world.

but one thing is to set up deposit limit or how much you can spend in live casino and other thing is when you set up bets per spins, buy in future options and this kind of things! we can see how this rules are strict in last years in UK, now australia, at least victoria state, want to change thing also in next years! we will see reaction from players!
