Barclays has introduced a 72-hour ‘cooling off’ time delay to its gambling block feature, which will help the customers who are looking for additional control over  their expenses in gambling websites, apps or in venues. The new feature will make the customers wait for 72 hours for making the next gambling-related payments. Any attempted gambling-related transaction will be automatically rejected.

Sian McIntyre, Managing Director at Barclays said: “We are always looking for new ways to support our customers and make it easier for them to manage their finances.

“Customer feedback on our gambling control showed us there was more we could do to help and we’ve worked closely with them to design the solution. Our customers have told us this 72 hour time delay gives them a real pause for thought and helps when they are tempted to return to gambling.”

Anna Hemmings, Chief Executive of GamCare, said: “The ability to block gambling transactions through your bank card or app is incredibly helpful to those struggling to control their gambling, and is ideally used together with other practical tools such as self-exclusion, blocking software, and specialist support and treatment around the issue.

A recent report from the University of Bristol Personal Finance Research Centre has also highlighted that ‘positive friction’ such as a cooling off period can be even more helpful for users, as this gives time for reflection. GamCare is pleased to see Barclays take this positive step to support their customers and we hope more of the financial sector follows suit.”

Katie Alpin, Interim Chief Executive of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute, said: “We’ve long campaigned for banks to offer customers gambling blocks with a ‘cooling off’ period, as this can make a huge difference in helping people stay in control of gambling and avoid serious financial problems. We’re delighted that Barclays has taken this step and hope that other banks will follow suit.”

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Play’n GO invites players to return to the charming world of Big Win Cat Pawsperity, where tradition meets treasure in this whimsically opulent 3×3 slot.

The beloved Big Win Cat is back – but don’t expect the same familiar feline. Set within a lavish shop filled with talismans and charm-drenched décor, Big Win Cat Pawsperity brings a heightened layer of visual storytelling and layered rewards. Players of the original Big Win Cat, fans of classic 3×3 slot structures, and enthusiasts of East Asian themes will find a playful yet potent take on the idea of luck.

Whether it’s the collectible Coins that feed into the Cat’s growing grandeur, the mystery of the Instant Bonus, or the elusive Wheel of Pawsperity, there’s always something to keep a keen eye on. With every detail designed to engage and reward, this is no ordinary feline feature.

Each Coin collected doesn’t just build anticipation – it builds the Cat, both literally and visually. As the pile of fortune grows above the reels, so too does the sense of potential. The Instant Bonus might strike with a single Coin, offering up to 5000x your bet. The Re-spin of Luck adds another strategic layer, nudging stacked symbols into powerful alignments. And the ultimate prize? A spin on the Wheel of Pawsperity – where multipliers and the majestic Grand Bonus await.

It’s a clever blend of playful anticipation and tangible payout opportunities that make every feature part of the narrative of growing wealth and watchful luck.

Building on the popularity of Big Win Cat, this sequel retains its familiar 3×3 charm while enriching the player experience with feature depth. Fans of Fortune Rewind or Cat Wilde titles will appreciate the elegant nod to previous themes – especially the character-driven charm that defines Play’n GO’s strongest slots. The growing Wild Cat acts both as a guide and guardian to prosperity, a mascot many will delight in rediscovering.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO said: “The return of Big Win Cat brings more than nostalgia – it introduces visual buildup mechanics and layered features that keep players engaged. It’s classic Play’n GO innovation wrapped in red silk and gold.”

With its striking visuals, layered gameplay, and engaging mascot, Big Win Cat Pawsperity pounces confidently into our premium 3×3 portfolio.
