Remember the GC tried to launch this two years ago, so they will have already done a lot of background work.

Surely most people will continue punting having proved
they can afford to lose a grand a month. Might wake a few up too. |

Dave why will norniron be unaffected. . I'm not sure that they are covered by the Gambling Act |
|
By:
like most things these days, it's purely performative. the people regularly doing their nuts, and heading to the bookies from the atm on benefits day, will carry on unabated.

By:
I can imagine it is Rico. For us pre race players who can only use the exchanges to earn a wage, its a very dark day.
|

By:
The money harvested will be completely wasted - in public sector inefficiencies.
|
|
By:
so not law, ok.
Spot on about the horse racing authorities Joe. Dereliction of duty by them not to be hammering away years ago on the case of racing(the only sport which depends on betting) being seperate from the gaming garbage. Instead there was Rust doing the opposite and endorsing fobts. |

Once this all goes through they will be emboldened. Stand by for the re-introduction of betting taxes on the slips etc. The country is broke after the Covid lunacy so everyone will be rinsed.

Little Jimmy can eat tonight (whatever he finds in the skip as i'm off down the pub/casino). Seriously, they can do what they want with slots etc as I have never and will never touch them, it may have been mentioned in this thread but those who gamble 90+% of the amount on racing (might be slightly more) and most of the rest on sports are less likely to be addicted than the general pop (or something like that).

will they target the irish too? liquidity was already down so much - had a look at the snooker early this morning semi finals barely 1k matched between the two games.
|
|
By:
Senyatta. The money don't move till the event starts. It's all traders. Cricket especially
|
|
By:
On the contrary, high rolling Irish can come over to British casinos and lose as much as they like on credit.
|
|
By:
100mill on a 3 hour cricket match. Barely a mill at start

Do you think people getting taxpayer handouts should be losing it gambling ? The theory behind the white paper is to prevent people gambling who can't afford it. By definition, if you need taxpayer handouts to survive, you can't afford to gamble.
|
|
By:
Handouts should be vouchers
|
|
By:
So you win £8k over a few months then give back £2k over the next few months and you’re in the net. Utterly bonkers .
|
|
By:
Those in the shadows won’t rest until there is an outright ban on gambling.
|
|
By:
Blazing that cant be correct, would imagine its the net position someone is in. I dont see how legally they can have any right to tell you how to spend profit..?
|
|
By:
to be clear, they can't legally tell you how to spend your money period.
Property can include things like land, houses, objects you own, shares, licences, leases, patents, money, pensions and certain types of welfare benefits. A public authority cannot take away your property, or place restrictions on its use, without very good reason. https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/human-rights-act/article-1-first-protocol-protection-property . |

This is why they will never pass a law that covers "affordability", but are tasking the GC with trying it through their codes.

In 90 days I should add.

I should like to meet the little worm who chose to use the word "Frictionless" in this announcement. = "achieved with or involving little difficulty; effortless". Are there two L's in Bo77ocks?

By:
TBF in someone is losing 2k over a 90 day period, they need to find another method....

By:

Depends on your stake size |
|
By:
it's completely arbitrary. to one person it's a fortune, to another it's pocket money. not to mention it will be eroded away with inflation over time.
|
|
By:
Training fees are £2k a month
Are hoss owners to be penalized as well!!!  |
|
By:
Minus 2k in 2 minutes. Then ure stopped before it gets to 2001.
Deposit limit much better |
|
By:
Sure even someone on 50k salary. How much they be allowed to gamble
