Anglican Bishop Attacks Gambling Companies That Target Children

From Vegas-

Dr. Alan Smith, the Bishop of St Albans in the UK, has resumed his attack on gambling operators that harm society, particularly by targeting under-18s. In his latest intervention, Smith said gambling had become a “generational scandal,” with at least 55,000 children now identified as problem gamblers.

Smith launched a major attack on the gambling companies in the Express newspaper. He said gambling is now a bigger problem for youngsters than alcohol or drugs, but there is not enough publicity about it.

He commented: “Moaning about gambling isn’t good enough – substantial change is needed. Children are the next target of an industry making billions in profits which shows little inclination to take any form of responsibility.”

He pointed out that youngsters typically are exposed to more than three advertisements for gambling every day. He added that 90% of pubs “fail to stop children from gambling on the fruit machines found in nearly every establishment.”

I always liked gambling in real casinos, but with the development of the Internet, it became possible to play online slots https://jennycasino.com/ , poker and then I started spinning slot machines on my computer and I liked it more. I chose the best online casino, poker and the most interesting slot games from the rating and I win big money. Such a thing gives me great pleasure, material well-being and financial independence.
