This was my first reaction, but in reality, unless they actually cap the amount possible to be wagered on each UK based account, I don't think it will have the profound impact you think.
For a start, UK players aren't really playing in a segregated playing pool like those in New Jersey, France etc, so any small changes to UK based players will have little effect on for example, the Stars playing pool.
If barriers are put up to prevent excess depositing, the vast majority of semi serious players and above will find ways around this like account transfers, depositing with BTC, VPNing, or playing on untracked apps.
I'm not saying that I'm in favour of gambling reform either but to cite the 'destruction of online poker in the UK' may be overreaching here.
