The most prominent element is the hypocrisy. Optimising returns to good causes is another way of saying optimising gambling losses to the public, as long as it is via the mechanism of the lottery.

The fine of 'baddie' dished out by the Gambling Commission was allocated to mitigate or reduce addiction or problem gambling. This is misleading and probably a waste of money/resource, why? Because spurious and unqualified individuals setting up entities with no relevant expertise purporting to treat problem gamblers or addicts will access the funds with little or no due diligence done very similar to a large number of entities applying for and getting "bounce back" loans from government during Covid. It would not surprise me if these individuals were related to or worked (or working) within the betting industry.
It's a proven fact the Gambling Commission needs to be radically re-structured or totally dismantled. The present Gambling Commission has too many engrained methodologies not suitable for 2023 and beyond. This quango needs to go, and a qualified head honcho with experience in the Betting industry appointed. |

It probably was the advent of fobt’s and their online equivalent that pressed the issue of problem gambling.
But it was used as a headline grabber to lump in all forms of gambling, those who lobbied on the issue made no attempt to separate the two, clearly on purpose. It’s akin to the gender bs. There are something like 0.02% of the public who have verifiable cause to have medical assistance to define sex, yet it’s now a question of pushing an agenda in childhood to ask which sex they believe they are. Just as all gambling has to be quizzed and scrutinised because of a similar minority who have problems with gambling. |

Punters who only play FOBTs might escape the affordability checks if the bookies can provide them with a win when they are nearing their limit.
Keep the patient alive and drip feed off them. No they would'nt would they? |
