Gambling Levy Regulations 2025Contribution
As the Minister knows, I have become a bit scared by seeing someone who has what he calls neurodiversity, which has exposed to those of us listening the real depth of some of the advertising around those companies that are not registered in this country but every football team that is advertising a particular brand is linked to. Those companies have taken over this area—companies bigger than Amazon—and they are now linking young people with neurodiversity into their adverts and into the way they project them through the internet. Those people then have to get into cryptocurrency—we know that there is a problem with that—and they are spending hours and hours a day, using whatever money they have, which they are losing on gambling.
