I am in the UK and am not aware of any change to the laws relating to revokes, and having looked in the 2017 law book it says what I have always understood:

The change was actually between the 1997 and 2007 laws. The 1997 laws had 64A2:

Quote

Offending Player Did Not Win Revoke Trick
...
also, if an additional trick was subsequently won by the offending player with a card that he could legally have played to the revoke trick, one such trick is transferred to the non-offending side.

Furthermore, the TD has always had the ability to award additional tricks to the NOS if they judge that the automatic transfer is insufficient to restore equity. You're not supposed to be able to gain if you're caught revoking.

I only started learning bridge in 1997 and it was well after that I became familiar with the common laws, hence why I was not aware of any change.
