Rejected petition A review of on-line betting firms restricting and limiting accounts.
It seems on-line betting firms prey on the vulnerable. For most ‘punters’ it’s not a problem having a few quid at weekend for fun as they don’t get touched. It also seems no problem for people who chuck money at these firms and chase loses. For us ‘responsible’ sensible punters we get penalised.
