\n

The UK\u2019s Betting and Gaming Council<\/a> has endorsed a new campaign from Racing TV<\/a> called \u201cWrite to your MP.\u201d<\/strong> The effort, which was applauded by BGC Chairman Brigid Simmonds OBE, enables \u201cconcerned horse racing fans to seek assurances from their MPs and DCMS Ministers,\u201d says the trade group.<\/p>\n

According to the BGC, as the country moves to introduce new gambling regulations, punters want the chance \u201cto have their say\u201d on what this will entail; and may want to ensure that any changes will not impinge on their enjoyment of the sport. Racing TV\u2019s campaign prompts horse racing fans to write to their local MPs to raise concerns on the Review of the Gambling Act<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Potential measures championed for the review include affordability checks, which the BGC argues would \u201conly serve to drive people to the unsafe unregulated black market.\u201d<\/strong> A recent survey conducted among Racing TV members shows 92% of respondents stated that they would consider using a different bookmaker if no personal information was required.<\/p>\n

\n

We’re urging the new @DCMS<\/a> team to publish the long-awaited gambling white paper without further delay. “It\u2019s time now for the Government to end the damaging uncertainty and get on with publishing the white paper as soon as possible,\u201d says @MichaelDugher<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/QaRqS5nN90<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/GbtjFLD2pc<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Betting and Gaming Council (@BetGameCouncil) February 16, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The study further showed that 15% of 3,500 respondents said that they bet, or they know someone that bets, with an unregulated online bookmaker. In addition, nearly 80% of the respondents said they would not like to see mandatory limits imposed by bookmakers on how much punters can spend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Brigid Simmonds OBE said<\/strong>: “The recent debate around the White Paper has shown us there is confusion when there should be clarity. No one benefits from this, not our members, nor their millions of customers. We have always called for a package of reforms that will deliver real change, but these need to be carefully targeted to protect the small minority who are vulnerable<\/strong>, not impact on the enjoyment of the vast majority who bet safely and responsibly.\u201d<\/p>\n

“BGC members are proud to provide financial support to the tune of \u00a3350 million to the horseracing industry each year. The White Paper should now be published without delay, to bring certainty for businesses and punters, so that investment can continue<\/strong>,\u201d Simmonds added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trade body further points out that around 22.5 million UK adults bet each month, and according to the independent regulator, problem gambling rates remain low at 0.3%. The Betting and Gaming Council is urging \u201canyone who has an interest in racing and in protecting their enjoyment of betting on the sport\u201d to sign up for the campaign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Do you follow and\/or bet on horse racing as an interest? If so, we urge you to seek assurances from your MP that any future gambling regulation will not impinge on your civil liberties nor enjoyment of racing. Email your MP if you have concerns over the Gambling Act Review \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n

\u2014 Racing TV (@RacingTV) January 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Racecourse Media Group (parent company of Racing TV) CEO Martin Stevenson<\/strong> said: “The widespread response to the Racing TV survey shows how much the ongoing Gambling Act Review, combined with their recent experiences, is affecting our members.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Our survey revealed that 15% of respondents bet, or know someone that bets, with an unregulated bookmaker, which is of real concern,\u201d he noted. \u201cWith millions of customers betting on racing, the findings of this survey indicate that hundreds of thousands of punters are potentially using the black market.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Stevenson, a key priority for the White Paper is needing to listen to consumers and, according to Racing TV\u2019s survey, they have shown widespread rejection of affordability checks<\/strong>. \u201cThey appear to be having the dysfunctional effect of pushing potentially vulnerable punters into the unregulated black market and therefore an unsafe environment,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
