Good to see the Voluntary Code of Conduct designed to curb in-game Gambling Marketing working well 🎰 😠 Self regulation in this sector does not work folks Government action is needed 👍 Let's start please with a Gambling Ombudsman with Statutory Powers so that those who have suffered losses on account of lack of Interaction and Intervention despite displaying clear signs of Gambling Oroblems may be adequately recompensed 💰 🤑 💸 An effective ADR mechanism would go astray either. https://lnkd.in/ehEWKgUy

It gives the UK competition authority some powerful new tools concerning digital platforms and in terms of consumer protection laws. It also includes some less heralded enhancements to the CMA's traditional competition powers. See our update on the digital markets regime, the first of three updates on the new legislation: https://lnkd.in/ezpvyzVi
