If youâre talking about our discussion from last week, then youâre mixing it up with the Degenerate Gamblers Thread where the other lad bluffed and spoofed his way through the evening
Mea culpa BruidheanChaorthainn. It is indeed on the other thread you referred to. My apologies mate. Got confused with all the different gambling threads.
Cheers mate. Shot my mouth off on this before doing my homework. Thanks for accepting the apology. Its a bugbear of mine, how bookies prey on the addicts that cant afford to lose what they are staking. I know many wont agree, but I believe affordability checks are a huge step in the right direction. When the fun stops and all that.
I donât believe affordability checks are required to help addicts at all. If bookmakers wanted to help they could do it over night. Absolutely zero need to use affordability checks.
Sorry mate, but youâve drawn me back in here. Affordability checks are not in place in Ireland. The gambling bill which was supposed to address this issue was first drafted in 2012, but still hasnt been enacted. Bookmakers here are not legally obliged to carry out affordability checks and do not carry them out. Please cite legislation or articles to the contrary.
