gambling commission fining operators millions but is it enough?

[bill_collins]

watching from australia. uk has much stronger regulation than most countries but still seems inadequate against massive gambling profits

comparative analysis shows UK fines 300% higher than EU average but still represent smaller percentage of operator revenue than most international penalties

my bf stopped using william hill after reading about their violations. feels wrong supporting company that exploits vulnerable people

boycotts dont work when millions of addicted customers cant stop using these sites

 

[firstleague]

real solution is structural reform. percentage-based fines that actually hurt, mandatory treatment funding, stricter advertising rules

@firstleague agreed but political will doesn't exist. too much tax revenue from gambling industry to seriously threaten their business model

least they're trying something. better than complete regulatory capture we see in other countries
