Gambling survivor. Shining a light on exploitation & fighting for justice. Protecting the vulnerable while keeping gambling fun 4 all.

Even AI knows. Gambling businesses engineer products to exploit your mind. They trap vulnerable players with psychological tricks, ignoring warning signs. Regulators look away. GOV cash the tax. Should we just accept that - or finally call it: a system built on human misery?

@pashov @samczsun Solo audits worse thing for those users who will be using that product. Crypto risky enough to make solo audit

A player begged VAVADA for self-exclusion. They reopened his account three times.
He lost €70,000.
Their solution?
€7k with NDA — then €5k when he didn’t accept fast enough.
Now they threaten lawsuits to shut us up.
This is what offshore casinos do in forbidden jurisdictions.

What happens when an accountant steals £2.4m to fund gambling?
No one asks where the money came from.
High‑velocity deposits. Large sums. No red flags.
Are we in the Wild West—or is this "regulated"?
Why isn’t anyone tracking the money before it’s lost?

A national conference on gambling addiction—sponsored by a gambling operator.
You couldn’t script it better. When addiction is treated as a feature, not a failure, the message is clear:
“We know it harms people. But it’s built into the model.”

@FlutterEnt got hit with a data breach. What leaked? Names, addresses, contact info—no BIG deal, right?
PR nailed it: “incident contained, no passwords/card data, regulators notified.”
Now we wait to see how bad it really is. And the @ICOnews Let’s be honest does it ever bite?

@scorpioracefan @GamRegGB I too have looked and couldn't find much which is what prompted me to post what I did. Seems like some cover up. I was sent an email

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

what happens when the @GamRegGB fines @BoyleSports for AML failures?

Fine £2.8m
Forced to finally write proper AML policies
Senior staff get yearly AML school
Need qualified MLRO (should’ve had one anyway)
Licence with stricter rules
Apart from fine doesn’t sound 2 bad right?

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

@BetGameCouncil @EntainGroup Maybe Ladbrokes should invest in strengthening their safer gambling systems instead of spending on shinier betting shops

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

Customers blew huge sums fast, barely any checks. Harm signs ignored. No follow-up after missed “safer gambling” emails. And they say this is a regulated business? Only because the @GamRegGB hands out licenses with no teeth. #GamblingHarm

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

Another fine, another slap on the wrist. £170k today, business as usual tomorrow. People will keep getting harmed until something truly changes - don’t hold your breath. #stopharm #reformgambling

Fabulous day in London yesterday, a little bit warm though.
Walking from Westminster to Tower Bridge raising awareness of gambling harm, in particular with regard to women - who people often don't think get impacted by this addiction as much as men, guess what, they do ☀️

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

@MartinPaterso13 @andymay_76 @BetfairExchange @GamRegGB @TheFCA @Betfred It’s not as simple as blocking gambling codes. Addicted people will find workarounds via e-wallets, PayPal, gift cards, even P2P. Banks know this but don’t seem interested in really tackling it

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

£1.7M stolen by a financial controller — 123 payments, 6 years, unnoticed.

Banks and gambling operators: why no questions on where the money came from? Compliance gaps cut both ways.

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

Banks are part of the game called profit for shareholders

[andymay @andymay_76]

@Mr_ProblemG @BetfairExchange @GamRegGB @TheFCA @Betfred Banks definitely could and should do better.

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

When banks & lenders hand payday loans and £20k finance deals to vulnerable people with zero income, you know the system is broken. Vulnerable consumers sacrificed for profit — again. #FinancialHarm #Gambling

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

Financial institutions are part of the gambling harm problem — they see where the money goes, but still hand out more credit, loans, overdrafts, and cards that vulnerable people use to fuel their addiction. That’s how the system keeps spinning. #GamblingHarm #Accountability

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

Gambling firms know exactly who is compulsive — they track every bet, every panic withdrawal, every failed self-exclusion. Yet they still exploit them. Should regulators force operators to use this data to protect people, not just profit? #DataRights #GamblingHarm

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

When gambling wrecks your life, the system leaves you alone. Mental health crises, debt, and even suicide hit hard, yet support is patchy and delayed. Operators profit, regulators stall, and victims fend for themselves. It’s time for serious, victim-focused reforms. #stopharm

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

Don’t you think the data hides all the secrets? Your data — your patterns, your spending, your struggles — is sitting on some server while your life unravels. Demand it. Measure what you spend. Ask for your data. That knowledge could save you, or someone you love
#lostdatarights

[mrProblemG @Mr_ProblemG]

Another loss that operators could have prevented if they actually monitored risky behaviour. I know people will say “it’s just Reddit, anyone can write that” - but I’ve lived it too. And many of you have. If you’re struggling, message. Don’t act before u talk to someone. U matter
