The Gambling Minister's face when when the chair of the Gambling Reform APPG makes the extraordinary claim that 80,000 children in the UK are gambling addicts says it all. How can there be a sensible debate when claims like this are made?

'The bigger one, the more systemic one (mistake racing made) which is harder to come back from is it has conceded this point that gambling is not something to be supported.' Vaughan Lewis explained the strategic error British Racing made in its 2025 campaign for a tax carve out.

Thanks for answering the question on using someone else's betting account in return for a share of the profits. The problem is that if bookmakers suspect this is happening, they can demand increasing amounts of documentation before allowing withdrawals. If the account loses, however, they can simply keep the losses. Too many ordinary accounts risk getting caught up in these investigations. It's a symptom of a betting market that isn't functioning well. UK bookmakers are operating in increasingly illiquid markets, facing heavier regulation and higher tax burdens. The result is more restrictions, more account limiting and more punters looking for ways around those restrictions. I'm not sure what the solution is, but the industry needs something better than the current status quo. It's becoming a PR disaster.

Full common sense speech on gambling by Claire Fox from yesterday's House of Lords debate. I hope those that oppose gambling take note, especially those who claim that 80,000 children are addicted to gambling in the UK.

Dan Waugh explains to the Lord Committee why the survey that suggested 80,000 children suffer from gambling harm (widely cited by anti-gambling lobby) may not be accurate. It was based on 25 children being PGs and one claimed to have done lots of gambling activities in one week.

Even if racing wins the tax harmonisation fight, it’s just a bigger slice of a shrinking pie. Losing cross-subsidy, leakage and fragile margins are the real threats. I explain in this video.
