    The owner of Ladbrokes Coral has been fined £5.9m for not protecting vulnerable customers and for failings in its anti-money laundering measures.

    The Gambling Commission says that over a three-year period, Ladbrokes and Coral failed to put effective safeguards in place to “prevent consumers suffering gambling harm”.

    One customer lost £98,000 and had asked the company to stop sending promotions.

    But the firm failed to carry out “social responsibility interactions”.

    Great that they have been fined. But 6milly won’t even touch the sides when it comes to Ladbrokes/Coral.

    Makes no sense whatsoever to even fine them such a small amount.

    I don’t know what is in place right now if someone asks to be removed from manipulative promotions. But I reckon it’s a piss poor scenario the bookies have in place if a compulsive gambler asks.

    Maybe the laws that be should look into gambling addiction a bit further. Cos they certainly don’t put any barriers up to help. The ones they have right now are fucking laughable.

    Again it’s back to will power though. But will power is all well and good until every email you open, every text you get, every flyer that comes through your post, every website you visit, every YouTube video you watch……IS A FUCKING CASINO OFFER!

    Wish the ad laws would treat this cancerous addiction like they now do smoking. I guess they will eventually. But not until they completely have you hook line and sinker. It’s a cruel cruel world. And every part of casino logic is sick. They simply don’t care.

    TV advertising should be banned just like smoking was.  Or at least restricted until after 11pm.  I know they can only advertise Bingo during the day but it should be completely stopped during the day I think.
