Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer says the government hopes to 'redress the power imbalance between punters and operators' as it prepares to unveil new regulations on the industry.
A new tax on gambling firms and maximum stakes for online slot machines are being considered under government plans to crack down on online addiction.
Outlining the government's approach in The Times, Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said the white paper will help"redress the power imbalance between punters and operators". She added:"Our gambling white paper has measures to redress the power imbalance between punters and operators. While the full details will only be revealed later on Thursday, the expectation is that the plans will include stake limits for online slot machines and a requirement to slow down online casino games to stop players losing large amounts of money in a short timeframe.
The Times reported that the levy, if enforced, could mean that large companies pay 1% of their profits to potentially fund NHS treatment for those who are addicted.
