“Weekly gambling industry watch”
In this section J4P will be producing a weekly insight into the latest news about the UK gambling industry and where appropriate from other parts of the world.
The first weekly insight will be added on Sunday March 13th 2022. We do hope this new initiative is of interest to people.
Below the weekly insights is a record of many news articles that J4P collected during 2019 and before.
2019 and before
J4P also offered a news service during 2019 and before, but then had to take a break due to workload, e.g. all the gambling dispute cases we were dealing with. The following stories are in date order – newest to oldest.
