Somewhat tone deaf of the Scottish Football authorities.
William Hill - A gambling sponsor returns to be flashed a multitude of times to adults and children.
Scotland had no gambling sponsorship of any competition for last 5+ years.

IBAS should be no where near being a safer gambling ombudsman. They are not independent, have turned away 1000s of consumers wrongly directed to them for ADR for social responsibility failings. Complicit in complaints cycle of unaccountability. Concerning to see @OmbudAssoc there
Excited to share our vision at #ICE2023! Our Managing Director, Richard Hayler, presented our ambition to become the new Gambling Ombudsman and our commitment to resolving disputes fairly and efficiently.

Interesting to see @IBAS_UK acknowledge over 3,700 cases of likely social responsibility failings where neither they or @GamRegGB could help individuals. Majority of cases £5,000+
Legacy of #gambling harm can't be ignored by new Ombudsman.

"IBAS were unable to investigate 653 complaints in 2019/20 regarding social responsibility. We understand 100s who approached IBAS informally also turned away and signposted to
Gambling Commission, despite the fact that they don't investigate."

1/ The post-white paper consultations are underway, here's our quick take. 1) It's good to see it confirmed that for 'enhanced assessment' affordability checks in particular, operators must account for "income and expenditure data, including current account turnover data"...

What's the DCMS position with TV #gambling sponsorship and promotion when a 16 year old teenager like Luke Littler is major participant and of 'influence' to other under 18s?
Interesting for regulation.

Would be an interesting check as to how many of these #MPs received hospitality tickets to sporting or music events, and/or asked a question in Parliament, prior to and after supporting the sham of safer #gambling week?

What an irresponsible message
Please don't quit
Always play
We will support you
You don't.
You use data and advanced algorithms to ban winners and exploit addicts (via VIP Managers).
If you are at the stage of wanting to quit, any hope of balance is long gone #Sgweek23
