buy feature banned?

so i’ve been noticing on a bunch of slots lately that the buy feature isn’t available anymore, or just outright banned in my region. it’s kind of frustrating since triggering bonuses the slow way feels like going back in time. not that i was spamming it, but sometimes if the base game goes cold, it was just good to have the option there.

i get that maybe it’s a regulator thing or some new rule, but it’s strange that some sites still have it on a few games. i’m wondering if anyone’s found a workaround, like changing the vpn or trying a different provider, or if it’s just a blanket thing everywhere now. anyone else seeing this and have any clue what’s really up?
