@GamRegGB Operators actively seek problem gamblers. FACT. Operators turn blind eye to accounts with fictitious details or improper verification. FACT. Address this with full ID verification before allowing deposits to be made.
@GamRegGB Why are operators allowed to take deposits without FULL identity verification, however for withdrawal multiple forms of ID required. This allows addicts to create accounts with false details.
Excellent insight. Exactly the investigation and programme that has been needed to make public aware of many of underhand tactics used by gambling industry to exploit individuals.
STATS: Quite staggering new figures from UKGC around the scale of self excluded #betting accounts in the UK. Almost 1.6 Million. A whopping 135,000 + self exclusion breaches. An industry doing enough around social responsibility?
An 'incredibly private man' who struggled with a gambling problem for several years took his own life, an inquest has heard. 😡😡😡https://t.co/XPC3SMRgL0
Leaving aside how astounding this transfer is for a moment, the simultaneous announcement of the signing, the bumper sponsorship deal and the assigned shirt number are a sickening endictment of just now embedded with the #Gambling industry my own team is. #rooney#DerbyCounty
Hello! Me and @bbcthree have made a programme called 'Can You Beat The Bookies?'. It's online now and also on @BBCOne, Wednesday night at 10.35pm. Thanks for all your tweets about it so far, it was a real eye opener. Here's the link to watch it... https://t.co/PKKWrc7Lzi
@TimMillerTweets @GREOntario Would the views of gambling addicts be considered? Hearing it from the horses mouth in terms of gaps in regulation and how addicts are targeted by operators may give you a useful insight?
@GamRegGB#GamStop Why do you allow operators T&C’s to create grey area of no responsibility where problem gamblers create accounts with fake details? Wouldn’t full verification before deposits eliminate this loophole? Please help #ProblemGamblers to stop by addressing this gap.

@GamRegGB#GamblingCommission#GamStop Idea is great but it has loopholes which operators happily take advantage of. Will be lobbying for operators to verify accounts BEFORE deposits can be made.
