On the one hand they create a bill like this , but provide funding to two of the biggest gambling industries.. horse racing and greyhound abuse (disguising as racing)

The article says they want to do away with free bets. WTF is wrong with free bets? For a lot of big games Paddy Power will give out a free €1-2 bet builder.
Another one of the few joys I have left in life being ruined.

It is horrible that gambling companies can turn such massive profits when the industry is built on destroying lives and families. Every sport is absolutely plastered with this crap and we wonder why one in ten people apparently have a problem.

This is one of the few big bills that’s left on the slate – I don’t think they’ll call an election before it’s done, too much work gone into it.

One of the greatest scourges on modern society. Especially the younger generation coming up whose dopamine and reward centres are scrambled from social media and modern gaming with loot box gambling systems.
Genuinely needs to be curtailed. You know there’s a problem when in my local small town there’s 3 boylesports literally within a 2 minute walk of eachother.
