Recommendation 9

9 Paragraph: 49

Set online slots stake limits to match land-based machines and not exceed £5

Recommendation
The high degree of accessibility of online slots negates the additional protection provided by account-based play. Setting a limit for online slots at the same level as Category B gaming machines, at between £2 and £5, takes account of the risk of harm and will impact only around 1% of gamblers. We recommend that stake limits for online slots should match those for electronic gaming machines in land- based venues and not exceed £5.
