Offshore sites are not bound by those rules, so a frozen balance or a refused withdrawal usually leaves you relying on the foreign regulator named on the licence, with limited practical recourse. An offshore casino that holds no UKGC licence is not connected to the scheme, which is precisely why it can still take a registration from someone who has self-excluded. Each of these tightens the UK market and widens the gap players step across when they go offshore.<\/p>\n
