Philip Davis MP comments after the Minister had summed up
Andrew did not address many of the specific points made in the debate and told those present the Gambling Commission was "proceeding with the proposal for financial risk checks". Davies, the Conservative MP for Shipley, said he regarded the attendance for the debate as a positive, and had taken encouragement from Andrew's comments about a willingness to examine ideas about the data being used in the checks and not wishing to push high net worth individuals away from racing. However, he added: "What wasn't promising was that the minister basically made it clear they were going to crack on with affordability checks anyway, and pretty much at the levels that we're already envisaging. I think that was disappointing that in effect he didn't say, 'I hear the strength of feeling, I will go away and reflect on it'." |

Of course,Clacton. The Minister has an agenda and no amount of so called 'consultation' will
have the slightest effect. |
|
By:
Yeah just a waste of time.

So Clacton, Galiarig is from Gagliari. Are you from Clacton-on-Sea? If so then it won't be long due
to global warming (see posts below) that the sardines migrate to your waters! |

Gagliari. Having to google many of the stuff you post has been quite an education. I now know for
instance what stargazy pie is ! |

No im not from Clacton-on-sea. Nowhere near there.

I didn't see this but apparently they gave more air time to Peter Shilton and his wife
Geoff Banks @geoffbanksbet 7.45pm On GB News Nigel Farage show Discussing affordability checks on British gamblers The thin edge of government controls on alcohol, smoking, eating, vaping.. all to follow this ‘test case’ I will do my best to represent punters, it appears no one is listening to them |

I can't see Geoff's clip on the GB News twitter feed but here are the Shiltons doing their pitch for ACs

It's going ahead as planned. That's it. End of Topic really. The Gambling Commission now call the shots.

And actually after all this 100 signatures rubbish and debate. I think we all knew affordability checks would continue. In fact, they have been already implemented by AI for 3 years or so.

LIke i have said before these quangos are not only anti gambling but also anti animal sports, they are populated by left wing, liberal, wet conservatives that have an agenda against any sport which includes the use of animals in sport.
They are not democratic and responsible only to there own agendas and ideas, they have a mission to convert the masses to there way of thinking for there own good. When the next Govt comes in there attn will turn to Alcohol under the guise of a threat to public health. |

I haven't bet in any high St shops for a couple of years, so I assume before I place a wager the person serving will let me know that if I am lucky enough to win a modest amount that I will be asked for certain personal documents BEFORE my bet is placed.?
.... Will they Phuck.! Good Luck Clacton.  |
|
By:
Messed that up, should read that you should be informed BEFORE you place a bet that you may be asked for personal info before you can withdraw any potential winnings.

I watched the debate and found it very odd that the minister could read from a pre-prepared script after everyone had raised their concerns.
If that isn’t direct evidence that he had no intention of ‘listening’ then what is? Hopefully it creates an opportunity for legal action. |

Don't worry; Phillip Davies (the Bookmakers stooge) is married to the lovely Esther McVey and both the Daily Mail and the Daily Express are saying that she is the Minister for Common Sense.
So it all should be fine if he has a word with her, rather than just tell them where the bodies are buried! |

And, ^^^^^ how about doing due diligence checks on Banks, Credit Card Company's, Finance House's who fall over themselves to lend the WRONG KIND OF PEOPLE MONEY !!!! ?...
IN NOVEMBER PLEASE, PLEASE DESTROY YOUR BALLOT PAPER BY PUTTING A LARGE CROSS THROUGH IT !!! UNLESS, WE STICK TOGETHER WE'RE ALL COMPLETELY PHUCKED ! I MOVE. |

Indeed, a choice (lol) between the government that wants to impose these draconian checks and the opposition that thinks they are not draconian enough

Here is Geoff Banks on the Nigel Farage show last night, and he tells Farage that he believes the Big Corp bookies are fully aligned with ACs, saying that they are drunk on data that enables them to profile and profit from their customers like never before.
Farage, appearing to be taken aback by this, responds by saying they will get 365 and the others to comment on this. https://twitter.com/chrisgambler247/status/1762570173486166463 Or alternatively go to Geoff's twitter feed and click on the link. |

Cheers George. Not saying that he (Geoff) doesn't have his own agenda and interests at heart - but it's interesting to hear his views. There's no such thing as a bookmaker any more (imo) but I suppose he is closer to being one than most of the big names with their wheels and reels.
I thought he did well to mention the Philippines! - I wouldn't trust any "bookmaker" with my full financials anyway - but knowing that all the big corporates will have sacrificed security/privacy etc for cost reasons (the same as their Customer Service), would be my biggest barrier to complying. |

He suffers from the de rigueur zeitgeist of the 21st century. If you screw up, it must be someone else's fault. |

The dark cloud hanging over the game…….who ever would have thought the punter would be backed into a corner trying to enjoy the game….
Fkn shambles……ITV and other media outlets will be on shortly pumping up Cheltenham and the start of the new turf season with lots to look forward to……but in the meantime Kim Jong is putting the steel between the shoulders of the punter…… Welcome to the cesspool (uk)….. I noticed the punter on Simon Notts piece calling for arcade machines to be taken out….at least someone agrees.. |

Will people leave in droves to purple if they don’t have the same rules ? Also will the PC charges be records losses on your account? (Betfair deleted this same post of mine previously)
|

By:
The game is riddled with checks killing the desire…
Watch with interest if Kim Jong continues with its vomit inducing mission leading up to Newmarket in May and Royal Ascot two prestigious meetings with the dark cloud above…. |

By:
purple will have the same checks if they are introduced. pc just reduces winnings and doesn't increase losses but illustrates the stupidity of the proposed rules when variance is considered, as a winning period (pc paid), followed by a losing period (check triggered), might have been under the threshold had the pc not been paid. When the player returns to profit, he won't pay pc for a bit till the recent losses are covered, but if his account is suspended, that won't happen.
