Yeah, it's strange. There's a law against shops advertising the machine games in the windows/outside yet the TV is full of those online gaming/bingo adverts.

Some other addictions can be similarly "silent" at first , like prescription pills and even early stage "functional" alcoholism, but those will eventually start to show physically as they progress. A problem gambler can be at absolute rock bottom (I've seen people lose houses and businesses) and still have no physical sign of the problem. |

They still do free to enter tournaments on slot machines in my local William hills to win a twenty pound voucher.

It is just another example of bare minimum compliance though. "We don't put posters in the window even though no one ever looks at those posters anyway, socially responsible r we innit"...
... Then giving (practically forcing) over the counter customers who have never even glanced at the machines a free go to get them hooked. Still doing the bare minimum for industry compliance while completely unsubtly pushing the opposite on the down low. Repeatedly hammering the self destruct button to be honest. If actual social responsibility had been observed from the offset they probably wouldn't be facing as much backlash. |

Very interesting to see your take on this, TS.
My paternal grandfather was a gambler, no one else in the family ever gambled, I wonder if it has something to do with what my grandfather lost and how horrible it was for my grandmother. It's a horrible addiction. And now it's everywhere! Bingo, slot game ads, roulette on late night telly... I'm sure most people gamble responsibly, but I understand it's affecting kids under 18 now. |

Have not deposited on one of my sites for ages as trying to be sensible (Esp as have over a grand in my bank right now which I could blow through in hours if 'in the mood') so..oddly enough..

BUT, I feel daft just leaving a free 80 quid there too, just incase. Also I know deep down that even if I won something, the 'exclusion' excuse would come out immediately
