APG Chair Robbie Butler MLA Announces Launch of Inquiry into Gambling Regulation in NI

APG Chair Robbie Butler has announced the launch of an inquiry into the regulation of gambling in NI. This will examine options for a new regulatory framework that reduces gambling related harms and consider how a new regulatory authority and health and social care can work together to address some of the most urgent issues. 

A new poll has revealed: 

• 80% want limits on how much customers can deposit in online gambling accounts

• 80% want online gambling to be subject to the same rules and limits as land-based gambling

• Just 20% believe that current gambling regulations do a good job protecting customers.
