A new wave of criticism has hit a UK Government scheme that is aimed at providing betting shops staff to prevent problem gamblers from getting access to their services.
As revealed by Rob Cave, a BBC reporter acting under cover, pretended to be a gambling addict who should have been blocked from the chance to use fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) with local bookmakers. He, however, actually succeeded to place a bet in 19 out of 21 betting shops. The reporter’s investigation was carried out in Grimsby, which was specifically chosen for the fact that the town in question is currently known as one of the places with one of the highest levels of betting shops on the territory of the UK.
