I see the Gambling Commission are still working hard to keep gambling free from crime. All going great...

"What’s missing from the headlines is the gambling industry’s role, especially the lack of affordability checks or intervention.”

Coroners hear expert evidence showing operators machine learning algorithms fail to pick up obvious out-of-control behaviour. Fiona Twycross Department for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy MP Gambling Commission Will Stone MP

Check out Prof David Forrest’s analysis for Leicester and South London coroners. IMHO their ML was indefensible. Huge numbers of bets placed, no meaningful interventions.

Start with removing the “aim to permit” Give Gambling Commission a strategic priority to prevent harm. Give operators a statutory duty of care to prevent harm. ( this could give them the commercial incentive to prevent harm, rather than paying lip service to LCCP) Thanks for asking.

The real issue is that we’re not even trying. I’ve sen no meaningful change over the last 10 years. Politicians keep saying the vast majority of people gamble safely, and belittle or ignore the hundreds of thousands harmed. And industry/Geoff say didn’t we do well”.

Today at #PMQs I welcomed the Govt’s plans to give councils stronger powers over gambling outlets but we must go further. The outdated 'aim to permit' rules must end. Gambling Tax must go up. Give communities & high streets an opportunity to thrive.

🚨 NEW: The Government is taking steps to empower local communities to say NO to new gambling establishments 🎰 Brent's campaign to stop the spread of high street casinos is being heard loud and clear - enough is enough. This is the difference of Labour in power 💪🌹

Data shows that gambling disorders are among the most predictive factors of suicidal ideation and death. The evidence is shocking, the stories are heartbreaking, and the responsibility is collective. Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide dianova.org/fr/opinions/ch…
