this is a regulatory scandal
The gambling industry is permitted under law on the basis that it is specifically regulated.
WTF was the regulator doing? It relied on a tip-off... and all the evidence is lost.
This is simply inadequate not regulatory oversight. It is however, consistent with the Gambling Commission position of "light touch", "not interfere with business"....
is the regulator an only and enabler? does the regulator utilise best-practice expertise (apparently not) or does the regulator consider it is best practice (it clearly is not)?
The real issue here is, ""WHAT'S GOING ON WITH GAMBLING REGULATION IN GREAT BRITAIN?"
For goodness sakes, these gambling companies are given a licence to print money, off the back of those who can least afford it, and the regulatory oversight here is not even questioned!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
