Andrew Rhodes, Chief Executive of the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), has published an open letter, warning stakeholders of the “misrepresentation of gambling statistics”.
The letter sees Rhodes reiterate his previous warning that “opinions on the subject and they sometimes differ very greatly and can be equally strongly held. Sometimes this can boil over into personal comments and even conspiracy theories as to what a given group, organisation or individual is believed to be seeking.”
Yet, of deepest concern, Rhodes cites that the Commission has witnessed a “significant increase in the misuse of statistics around gambling as different parties seek to make persuasive arguments for or against different proposals. ”
