A review of on-line betting firms restricting and limiting accounts.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

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.

Why it was rejected

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about online gambling, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
