If you look at channel 5 tonight, there is 2 hours of 'live' casino, broadcast on national telly. What rational people are playing casino via their telly at 2am. But I missed the campaign to stop that, and the incessant bingo advertising on legacy tv channels.

And in my view, scandalous national lottery, postcode lottery and euromillions advertising.

Pluck said: “If, for example, the duty on machines went up from 15 per cent to 20 per cent, that isn't a five per cent increase we'd be having to deal with, it’s a 33 per cent increase, which is a massive amount for an industry working on slim margins. Just a thought, IF Theeves raised the remote gaming duty to say 50% on line and 40% in shops and arcades (a move we agree would be welcomed) but reduced the tax on HR and sports betting to 0-5%, would a) bookmakers survive by acting like bookmakers and b) would Theeves get her £3.5bn. |

TheGoddess - if you think there is anything (in relation to tax) that can get online "bookmakers" to behave like "bookmakers" again, you are delusional. That horse has well and truly bolted (pun intended), They're all now 100% focussed on trying to do to the US what they have been doing to the UK for the past 25 years. i.e. profile addicts and rinse them with addictive games of chance.

An additional tax on betting companies may provide a little extra in benefits to single mothers and the like however someone I know works at the local hospital in a senior nursing role.
She did extra hours in order to give her daughter (a single parent )some extra money in order she could stock her kitchen cupboards up for the Christmas period. With that extra money her daughter has an appointment today to have another tattoo! It may be seen to be assisting struggling families giving them extra money but a lot of extra money end up more Big Macs happy meals more vapes, more ****, more scratch cards and indeed more tattoos! |

Maybe benefits should be paid in cloths, food and energy vouchers only, NO CASH! Anything the benefit already pays for, rent and council tax for example, should the resipitant need to pay anything, vouchers should be provided for that too. Removing cash from these people should prevent them from generally wasting the tax payers money, eg getting tattoos, their nails done, buying drugs, alcohol and cigaretes, playing FOBTS and gambling in shops or bingo halls etc. |
