Such a good interview from David Walsh. Lots of nuggets like how Van der Vaart tried to pick the team, the Jukebox Man chances in the Gold Cup and how he normally bets £500 each way on his horses when they run

Regulated operators have been saying this for ages. And been dismissed. Finally - for whatever reason - the threat posed by illegal operators is gaining traction. Good investigation theguardian.com/technology/202…

Searches for “not on GamStop” are surging in the UK since online slots stake limits were introduced in April 2025. These are potentially the most vulnerable gamblers. We need to assess whether well meaning policies are reducing harm or simply displacing it elsewhere.

Good to see horse racing and betting industry campaigning on the same side again "Why is the Government forcing punters to PROVE they can afford their hobby" thesun.co.uk/sport/38561351…

A really important piece of investigative journalism that is not easy or quick to do. The illegal market should take note that as it grows, so will public scrutiny like this

Worrying revelations about how influencers and AI chatbots are luring people to illegal gambling sites - investigation shows the brilliant Alex Wood was able to bet as Red Rum at Cheltenham. Huge questions around why there's no enforcement to stop this. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Some of this is nonsense I'm afraid - you can't equate a 'payout' figure with bookmakers being 'hit for tens of millions'. A payout is only relevant when you know how much a firm has taken on the race
