A user on Casinomesiter was looking for demo game access in the UK. The interesting part is that members there completely overlooked Bigwinboard, which provides demos without restrictions. Instead of suggesting it, they pretend not to know by suggesting using a VPN or asking for personal verification elsewhere.
What caught my attention was a comment from a member stating that slot developers caused these issues themselves by creating games with child-friendly themes such as teddy bears.
It's quite unfortunate that in the UK, demo access needs to be constrained for fear of innocent teddy bear imagery. This sort of control is characteristic of their nanny-state mentality. The irony lies in people viewing these rules positively. In contrast, in my area, playing slots as kids in public places was harmless.
I'm baffled. The UK has become one of Europe's most nonsensical countries.
I see your point. The political climate there is another example. The British people are severely restricted. Activists are jailed for speaking up. If people in Norway, Finland, and Denmark can access demos without issue, why can't the Brits manage it?
Which providers have been restricted from offering demos? I'm not in the UK, but online resources show plenty of legitimate casinos operating there.
Nowadays, regardless of your location, you can connect to casinos or access demos from just about anywhere.
