“We have a duty to protect people from gambling harm”!
Just do it then.
Step 1: give Gambling Commission a duty to protect from gambling harm not to permit gambling.
Step 2: give operators a statutory duty of care to prevent harm, with named Director responsible and right of redress.
At present the Gambling Commission & local authorities have a statutory duty to aim to permit a harmful industry. A new Gambling Act based on the prevention of harm is needed urgently to protect the public from the gambling industry's exploitative practices & products.
Today APG officers Philip McGuigan and Paul Frew met Northern Ireland Assembly with Communities NI Minister Gordon Lyons MLA for update on implementation of 2022 Act provisions and preparations for second phase of gambling law reform in NI. A really positive engagement.
