Tom
Watson MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and
Sport, commenting
on online gambling firm 888 being ordered to pay a record £7.8m penalty by the
Gambling Commission, said:
“This
outrageous case is more evidence of a gambling industry that needs to do more to
protect vulnerable customers – not exploit them. With 430,000 problem gamblers
in the UK, and over 2 million more at risk of addiction, the sector has to take
responsibility and help people not to bet more than they can afford.”
