ISA President Lord Lexden has questioned how VAT on school fees is being used, as ministers fail to say how many new teachers have been hired with the revenue raised.

The scale of illegal gambling is staggering, and it’s growing. With billions lost to crime instead of funding public services, the BGC is proud to work with global partners to tackle illegal gambling and protect consumers.

5. Education Fails to Hit Home

@adriansladdin, co-founder of the Ethical Gambling Forum, warns that young people are walking into the black market, guided by social media and influencers.

“There’s much more to be done,” he tells SiGMA News. “And it’s a lot harder to deal with online issues than land-based ones.” He also warns against taking the UKGC’s numbers at face value, but not because they’re too high. “For Gen Z, we need to rethink, especially with the rise of gaming, esports, and virtual casinos.”

7. Prevention over repair

“When we set up YGAM, we were a breath of fresh air,” says @adriansladdin. But now?

“It’s depressing to hear people say there should be an education programme, or ask what a loot box is. The message is getting lost. It’s better to educate up front than pick up the pieces later.”

[Betting and Gaming Council @BetGameCouncil]

Awareness of the black market is alarmingly high, millions of people know of at least one black market site.
