https://uknip.co.123 which highlighted how there are plenty of commentators, including the Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission itself, which misuse statistics in order to frame a certain narrative. Unfortunately, that narrative is that gambling, online gambling especially, is a danger to society. In reality, gambling is enjoyed by millions of Brits and the percentage of problem gamblers is at a record low.
However, we do believe that information surrounding safe online gambling is as good as it has ever been. There are plenty of safety tools which are widely accessible to all. GAMSTOP especially is a marvellous tool which allows players to sign up and, if need be, ban themselves from being able to play at all UKGC licensed casinos. Therefore, from this perspective, the whole sphere has never been safer from gambling related harm. Unfortunately, if you read the British tabloids, you would never think this. Quite the opposite, in fact.
