How can we get this petition moving in a meaningful way?
Does anyone personally know/ can contact a journalist interested ? There were quite a few articles re this last year- BBC, the Guardian et al

but for impact we need the Sun or Mail to get the masses behind this
Anyone got the contact(s)  to push this?

I've contacted a high profile MP who last year showed an interest- hes on hols .

Anyone a member of other betting forums willing to post up the petition link with a few motivational words?

If you want a better betting experience - do something

I don't want to be indelicate but this is an utter waste of time and a mere bagatelle. There are shades here of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza in Miguel de Cervantes' famous book fighting injustice through chivalrous actions. Has no chance of succeeding I'm afraid.

P.S. - My best friend is a Conservative MP for a great city in the south of England, I'll mention it to him for what it's worth.

I wasn't aware LMFAO but UK bookies are an altogether different breed. Am having supper with my MP friend at the weekend and will let him know about it.

Good luck with this.

Johnny:

Get enough names on the petition.

Get someone to write a press release stating the bookmaking industry are routinely refusing the bets of people that dare to actually win, and that winning is not actually allowed.

Voice the opinion that the media in this industry are complicit in covering it up.

Send it out to every journalist the bookmakers haven't corrupted, imo...

Paul Haigh's a great mate of mine and no longer in the industry (well not too much over here anyhow). It would tickle him to get involved now that he has no paymaster. I'll mention it to him too.

Johnny- In Australia some of the big bookies were forced to take bets again- including Will Hills

cheers
