Thanks for sharing. It is definitely interesting, however the player demand won't recede - the regulators have to catch up with consumer demand.

Makes sense they would ban them with state-licensed options, surprised it took this long. It would be great to see a state embrace duel currency models for playing games. Might be an unpopular opinion here, but I like the model. I can play for no risk or real money if I choose, and their rollover of 1x on bonuses is attainable.

Agree, its what players want. Just the regulators need to catch-up.
