October 27 2017

A really quiet week, perhaps the most quiet since we starting tracking the media:

• Bookmakers do not let anyone win using skill; they ban them
• More concerns about increased advertising spend when children are watching
• Government FOBT review due next week (at last)
• Crime is a big problem in bookies

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.
