Some confusion about the different organisations involved.
Thread title names the BHA; OP text talks about the Gambling Commission; petition text has ABB (Association of British Bookmakers).

OP is mistaken when he says the petition is anonymous.
Couldn't be clearer...
Mick McDermott (https://twitter.com/mickmcdermott79) and presumably his sidekick Rob Flint are the men behind it.

Just a few more signatures needed come on folks, we cannot continually complain about bookmakers but at the same time refuse to sign a petition
I don't think 'Dumb and Dumber' have done their homework here. Lobbying the Chairman of an association funded by bookmakers 
to instigate an investigation against its own members 
. What next a petition to the ACS to limit shops on how many cigarettes they can sell to an individual?
Anyone who has signed this petition has wasted their time, you only have to look the tw4tter account above to know that D&D are not the people to fight this battle on the behalf of the signatories - a year and 3000 signatures wasted; signatures that are probably now unavailable to anyone who decided to launch an intelligent campaign against bookmaker practices.
Some people would say that doing something is better than doing nothing, not in this case alas!
