It's crazy really - when you can actually put a £100 bet on in the bookies and win just £500 back...

Yet, if you put the same stake on an online casino you could win up to £500,000 - or more!

Gambling really has gotten out-of-hand from our day back in the arcades when even then addiction took all our money - no wonder there is such a debt crisis with so many people, when so many adverts on TV for casinos, internet pop-ups and campaigns and social media have it blasted all over the place.

Yes, I have a flutter online, and no I don't EVER win in the long run, but it is nice when you do get the odd 'biggy'!

That is the gamble and addiction I suppose and I can easily understand how this can get so out-of-hand... luckily I have support with my money so I can only spend what I have left over after everything is paid for, otherwise things may be so sadly different.

I don't get why it would be capped. People will just do brains but slower.

Although having said that, I suppose it will reduce the number of £100 spins where it goes tits up and someone punches the machine or something as they've just lost £100 in 30 seconds
