'New research published by the Royal Society has found “widespread” non-compliance and “non-existent” enforcement of the UK’s industry-led, self-regulatory principles on in-game loot boxes. The industry principles – introduced in 2023 ... – followed the Government’s decision not to regulate the use of loot boxes, despite their known risk to children. '

Miriam Adelson's support for Trump notwithstanding, the tariffs are part of the dynamic that will likely see her move the team to Las Vegas. It's what happens to all people who support Trump. 🎲 🃏

Hmmm... so perhaps unsurprisingly, it looks like Denise Coates may be cashing in at Bet365, with a potential payment of around £5bn if things go well with a (partial or complete) sale....

I wonder what the UK's richest woman will do with all that money?

Not that this is a new issue for her, of course.

“The #Labor MP #JeromeLaxale has expressed his “disappointment” in the #Albanese government’s #failure to restrict #gambling #ads and called on the party to “honour the legacy” of the late #PetaMurphy if re-elected.

Laxale, a left-faction MP who is trying to hold on to the ultra-marginal New South Wales seat of #Bennelong, said he was “sick of seeing betting odds linked to live sport” and told #voters in his #electorate there was “a strong #reform package coming”.

The Albanese government has not taken changes to #gambling #regulation to this election and has faced sustained criticism from #PublicHealth experts and political pressure for shelving plans to restrict gambling ads, in the face of opposition from #sporting codes and #broadcasters.”

“But speaking of gambling, #gambling is a behaviour where #people don’t think of the #consequences. And what this (#Labor) #government has done is gambled the #taxpayers’ money of Australia”

…

“We understand that the other side has a good heart, that they want to make #medicines cheaper. But to recklessly, recklessly cut the profits of small business owners, the #pharmacies working extremely hard, some of them have told me they’ve gone down to 30-40%. That gambling-like behaviour is simply not on.” — #ScottYung

Piss off Scotty, leave our Pharma alone.

“#Gambling ads are everywhere – even during the #footy. It’s not normal, and it’s not OK. I’ve written the bill to ban them. It’s ready. The major parties stalled. In a #balanced #parliament, we can make it law. #Independence works.” — MP/Candidate #Goldstein, Daniels.
