    Just had a spine shivering thought , seeing as the UKGC continues to get tighter and tighter on gambling laws, can we see gambling eventually be ruled out in the UK like they did in Australia ? This would be nightmare fuel for most gamblers and i can genuinely see there being a HUGE uproar if this was to eventually happen! Thoughts ?

    Unlikely to happen due to the tax income generated, and as for “huge uproar” it would be s muted growl of disapproval at best.  I suspect many gamblers would be in part relieved as it would remove the monkey from there back.

    It will never happen  .The government would lose hundreds of millions generated in corporation tax from bookmakers and casino sites

    the tax income aspect i do agree with completely , but stranger things have certainly happened , do you recon ? british seem to have a loud voice for everything so i’m not convinced it would be a grumble although you could well be right in regards to the relief factor

    Gamblers are by nature secretive animals in many cases, a large number wouldn’t want people to know they gamble, hence my comment that any complaints would be muted.   If however an Albanian is mistreated in Turkey you can expect a mass protest marching through the streets of London screaming that heads must roll 🙂

    Short answer is No… And it’s because aussie has a far more serious problem with gambling than UK & the UK likes to bleed the poor, anytime the UK has tried to curtail the gambling the public/industry has revolted against it.. UK is far more involved in the gambling scene than most countries & cannot do without the revenue.
