A new micro-website for professional footballers as gambling addiction is so bad, but nothing new for the rest of the population, because we don’t even know how many people with gambling problems there are. MPs are still accepting gifts from the industry:

  • Industry and personal ‘gifts’ are ruining our democracy
  • Yet another gambling company breaking advertising codes
  • We don’t even know how many problem gamblers there are
  • Gambling industry attitudes are so bad it stunned leader of Saville enquiry
  • Ladbrokes in bother again
  • Problem gambling reaches a tipping point in professional football
  • 10 betting shops within yards of each other

The following are all the links to the media coverage proving we’re not making it up.

ps:  Does NOT include all the media coverage of violence and robberies in betting shops.
