Terrbile week as Paddy Power/Betfiar break ranks on FOBTs saying they think a maximum stke of £10 per spin is needed;

• Pay to help solve the problems you cause, bookies told
• Another top footballer is addicted to gambling
• ASA worried about the clarity of gambling advertising
• PaddyPower breaks ranks saying FOBTs are toxic
• Gambling company affiliates; unregulated & disgraceful
• An industry with no moral compass
• Addiction should not be promoted
• Scottish football has been bought by the betting industry

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