The Betting and Gaming Council have heaped support on gambling minister Baroness Twycross after her address at the group’s AGM.
“In my short time in post, I have seen the value this sector brings,” the former London Assembly member said last week. “Not just in tax receipts and jobs created, but as a leisure activity, for example through a day at the races, enjoying a game of bingo, or time spent in a seaside arcade.
“I want to work with you to see a safer, more responsible gambling industry.
“I know that the vast majority of people who gamble do so without experiencing harm, but it is in all our interests that we do better for those customers who could be vulnerable to gambling harm.”
