Had a look at the article, states players should use their influence to reject such adverts and think about young fans. How can someone in his position even say that giving that he promotes the biggest fraud going. How that has even made the paper nevermind the front page is baffling to me and as for young fans like someone already said its totally irrelevant as they can’t gamble anyway

The Gambling Commission study suggests that 450,000 children aged 11 to 16 bet regularly, more than those who have taken drugs, smoked or drunk alcohol.
Bets with friends, slot machines, and scratch cards are most popular.

 

Please stop making false statements about child gamblers, You know there is a problem in society with this issue…if you don’t know this. please don’t comment.

Minimum age for the lottery is 16, that’ll be that.

[Malkychamp WANTED $486 Outlaw]

So if a kid makes a bet with a friend, for example he bets his friend he wont ask a girl at school out on a date. He is now a gambler and would be included in these stats? Its not like they are hanging around the back off bike sheds having a spin on a rogue roulette wheels. Don’t be consumed by useless number and stats and think about what you read

[Haz40 WANTED $1,167 Outlaw]

So the main problem is the loot boxes then yes ?

16/07/2019 · The current age limit for all National Lottery games is 16, but the government will now consult on whether it should be raised to 18 for some or all National Lottery games and products.

For now xbob yes youre right.
