Gambling – Las Vegas on every phone – shake up in laws

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer outlines plans in Parliament saying the rise of smartphones means “now there’s a Las Vegas on every phone”.

Ms Frazer said her “balanced” proposal would still let people enjoy a flutter.

However gamblers losing £1,000 a day are to face checks.

Culture Secretary: we’ll force gambling companies to step up.  Ms Frazer added – you can’t put a cost on loss of dignity.

The announcement of what the government’s long-awaited white paper actually contains has been delayed at least four times, since the review of gambling laws was first announced by Oliver Dowden, then culture secretary, in 2020.
