Gambling Tax Hike Avoided in the UK – Good News for Players’ RTP
Players in the UK can breathe a sigh of relief as the feared gambling tax increase has been postponed – meaning, for now, that online casinos licensed in the UK can maintain RTP rates of around 94%. The anticipated double-digit tax hike, which could have forced operators to reduce player returns to cover costs, has been set aside in the latest budget from UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who opted instead to tax the super-wealthy.

This delay in tax reform allows licensed UK casinos to maintain competitive RTPs, benefiting players by keeping payouts steady in a time when gambling taxes are rising across Europe. If the tax had been implemented, it might have led to casinos reducing RTPs further, making games less attractive to players. With the current rates maintained, UK players can continue enjoying games without additional tax-related impacts on payouts.
The budget did hint at a possible change in the future, suggesting a revised, simplified tax structure for the gambling industry. However, this won’t affect players immediately. For now, the industry holds steady, and players can enjoy higher RTPs in UK-licensed casinos, maintaining fairer odds and more engaging gaming experiences.
Spartan113 Informative, thanks to the author! Now I will know that this has happened. The lesson for the future is to check everything three times.
MisterM1mba One thing is clear – if the software is buggy, then it is a casino problem. Why should a player suffer?
Yukiiihira The coefficient for the passage of the Villa is almost 10! I took it purely for fun, you never know, suddenly like Barca once.

Smoolbeansam Do I think it's getting harder and harder to understand the rules in these new slots? It used to be simple - you spin the reels and look at the lines. And now there are some pedestals, cascades, respins... I'm completely confused! And what is volatility? Can anyone explain it in simple terms?

I’m relieved! Tax hikes mean lower RTPs for us, so this delay is a win. Let's hope the government consults properly with players and industry before any changes.
We dodged a bullet here, but let’s be real – the government’s going to come back to this sooner or later. Still, I’ll take the higher RTP while I can!
This is a win for players. UK casinos staying at 94% RTP means fairer play and more excitement! Let’s hope the government thinks twice before bringing in more taxes.
Great move. A tax hike would’ve just hurt players in the end. Keep the games fair and keep the RTP up – that's all we ask!
Finally, some good news for us players! If taxes went up, you know the RTP would’ve dropped. Let's enjoy it while it lasts!
