The UK’s Gambling Minister, Stuart Andrew, has criticized the proposed bill to reform gambling in the country. He stated that the new provisions should not dismantle the existing system, as the government plans to raise 100 million pounds sterling from gambling taxes. This amount is intended for funding research and healthcare.
Andrew emphasized the need for a system in the UK that doesn’t provide “ambiguous” paths for players, including those seeking help. He urged the government to adopt the new law with a “trial” period to see its impact on the state’s finances and gamblers.
