Face the facts on the way to a safer game

1. Face the facts on the way to a safer game But another fact that we should not ignore is that the game is there for profit, taking money from its customers. At over £ 14bn, gaming in Britain is on a par with British agriculture. People who bet in Britain lost £ 450 per second in 2021/22. For millions this is the cost of a good time.

2. I'm a big football fan and a long time fan of Swansea City (not necessarily, I've heard them all). As any football fan will tell you, the best games are when you are not looking at the referee. Fair competition, where no one is injured and everyone goes home for entertainment. Sometimes I think there are many similarities between the work of a football referee and our work in the Satta king. • In an ideal world we would have little to do. But we are not even close to that. Increase the functioning of the Commission, but not less. Now we are trying to achieve that ideal, with the level of damage done by the game deteriorating, and having a constructive and cooperative relationship with the industry could be part of how to get there. From my meetings with the industry, I know that operators want that too. But if we want an adult relationship, we must start from shared facts. • First, the game is normal. Some of them will attack that statement, but we should not shy away from it. More than 40% of the population has played in the last four weeks and more than half have done so online. There are thousands of them, buying lottery tickets, betting on sports, playing bingo, and so on. Play Bazaar

4. But it is a gambling problem for hundreds of thousands of people. There is damage • These are the people who suffer economic, mental and physical damage because of their own game or the game of their loved ones or friends. It's real, it's life changing and it can happen to anyone. Satta king • It is also an ever-changing group of people. There is nothing static about it. • The game is normal but the damage should not be. We will continue to work to reduce damage levels. There are still too many operators who do not comply with our rules and that is not acceptable.  But it has to be on a compliance basis, and despite all the good efforts that have been made, we still see too many cases where everyone agrees that we should not see.  • And that's why the Single Customer View project is a great opportunity for the industry. • This is not Big Brother "player registration" style. It is about helping operators solve their own problem. Look at the bars. There is a point when a bar owner will stop serving you, often so much for your own good and for their own good. And other pubs will not serve the same customer either. Good operators do not want to serve a customer who has found many other places. Single Customer View is about preventing that. We know it's technically possible. The play Bazaar has published how it can be done safely, protecting people's data. Now it's up to the industry to try a solution. satta result • I am clear about the way forward and the Commission's approach. We are more focused than ever on our key goal of making gaming fairer, safer and crime - free. We would like to collaborate with the gaming industry in this work. But to do that, we all have to face the facts.
