The government is launching a review of gambling laws, which haven't been updated since 2005 But some fear the review might be watered down, amidst reports a ban on gambling adverts on football shirts could be pulled Newsnight's AnnaCollinson reports
New restrictions designed to make online casino games less intensive and safer have been announced by the Gambling Commission.
Online slots and similar casino-style games have come to dominate Britons' spending on gambling. The British public spent £2.2bn on online slot games in 2019, according to the Gambling Commission, and some estimates say the UK now accounts for 15% of these types of games. A big test may come later this year, with indications that there may be a ban on gambling companies sponsoring the shirts of football and darts players. That would be unpopular not just with the companies, but also the sports authorities and clubs, who have become reliant on the sponsorship income.
