Are UK gambling restrictions actually working or just pushing people to offshore sites?

Alright, so I get why the UK is tightening gambling laws—problem gambling is a real issue. But here’s what’s happening instead:

• More players are using offshore casinos that don’t have these restrictions.
• People are making multiple accounts to bypass deposit limits.
• The new slow spin rule on slots is just making players bet more per spin instead of pacing themselves.

Last month, I got hit with a random "affordability check" even though I only play casually. Had to send in bank statements and payslips just to keep playing! Meanwhile, offshore sites are handing out bonuses with zero hassle.

So is the UK really helping problem gamblers, or are they just making it easier for rogue sites to profit?
