It won’t make a jot of difference really lowering the stakes on one form of gambling..... people have to learn to take responsibility of what they do. Better education and more involvement from public health I would like to see. Whenever someone messaged I always tell them, they have to do it for themselves.

Sexydadbod Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 You were just shown again on BBC news briefly from the Victoria Derbyshire show (at least I think it was you ?) when they were talking about the problems with child gambling. Liz Ritchie’s story is very upsetting concerning her son Jack ending his life. Children gambling is a big problem, especially in gaming. Those who play Fifa know there is something called “Fifa points” where you can spend real money to gamble on packs- baring in mind that Fifa has an age rating of just 3. Keep fighting the good fight @Mafiabob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep fighting the good fight @Mafiabob I also have queried that in the past. FIFA has become huge in recent years and FUT is the driving force of that success. People make hundreds of thousands documenting their games on YouTube & there are even professional gamers now. It's alien to me, if I'm being honest. EA have made a very dangerous concept with their payment for packs. I am in no doubt that some kids will steal their parents details to buy, plus anyone that plays it knows that most of the time the packs are crap and a massive waste of money. It just feeds the urge to buy more, unfortunately, unlike gambling on Football to win money back, you're investing in something that becomes redundant in 12 months time as a new game comes out and it doesn't carry over. FWIW, I think most of the major bookmakers are doing an excellent job on their 'when the fun stops. stop.' campaign. I have no doubt it's largely due to the great work the likes of @Mafiabob and others have done to raise awareness and increase pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This is a topical news item today... Bet365 founder Denise Coates announced as UK's highest earning boss... pocketing £265m last year alone. That tops the £217m she earned the year before. It makes Mel's £450m fortune sound piddly. My prediction: Betting companies are about to take over the popular press 'villain' role from the pay day lenders. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46289499 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
