Absolutely loved doing this with Charlie Stebbings - great to chat through the challenges and opportunities for the sport.
*GCF CALL FOR EVIDENCE* During a meeting with the GCF, DCMS affirmed their committment to 'frictionless checks'. We know this is an impossible goal, and we invite all gamblers to send us any evidence of friction they have experienced with bookmakers.

The GCF receive responses from DCMS and the Gambling Commission on our alternative to affordability. Our original letters, however, were sent prior to our polling, which we have duly responded with. The Govt and GC cannot ignore 68% of the UK public.

To those who work in racing & breeding, & even affiliated services:
Remember during Covid it was explicitly illustrated how the financial workings of this sport rely on betting? Affordability checks, as currently proposed, will have a comparable effect.

We urge all our supporters to sign this petition. Now there is an alternative in place - the GCF's app proposal backed by 68% of the public (YouGov) - it is vital we show the strong wave of opposition towards ineffective, illiberal affordability checks.
