I’m not saying any of that. 80% of revenue coming from 20% of customer doesn’t = they target problem gamblers and most revenue comes from problem gamblers.It's an industry that gets most of its profit from people with a problem. According to you that seems to be just fine because it's comparable to a shop or a restaurant. Just watch
BBC Three - Gambling: A Game of Life and Death
How Harri and Jack’s online betting devastated their lives after teen gambling took hold.www.bbc.co.uk
Yep and they’re businesses. There’s a difference and admittedly fine line between that and actively encouraging problem gambling and targeting problem gamblers.
Oh really? I'm just going off personal experience, empirical evidence, and good old fashioned psychology.I’m not saying any of that. 80% of revenue coming from 20% of customer doesn’t = they target problem gamblers and most revenue comes from problem gamblers.
Also I’m not defending the indefensible, gambling clearly ruins people’s lives and the relationship with football is unhealthy, but you’re talking crap in some cases, and you don’t know as much as you think you do.
Lol, we might have to accommodate them at the CBS arena next season.The way things are going at Blues Birmingham won’t be doing that.
There are risk models used which identify increased frequency, time spent, stakes, deposits. These can results in marketing hold out, credit checks, and account suspension.
If a customer doesn’t hit the risk model then a churn model would pick them up.
Cov Building Society not taking people's houses when they have debt issues?
Very stringent regulation around the circumstances of repossession. Banks/Building Societies would need to evidence that they have robust processes in place to identify those who may be struggling, engage with them and look to help them manage their repayments. Repossession is the absolute last resort. If they fell down on any of this they’d be ripe for litigation.
Yeah I was just pointing out that they are hardly the moral angels either.
Repossession has to be an option surely or people just wouldn't pay their mortgages?Yeah I was just pointing out that they are hardly the moral angels either.

Aesthetically, I think Coventry Building Society would look good as a sponsor on our kits if we were to lose Boyle Sports

I'd be happy with that. In terms of looks alone Allsop and Allsop's giant logo has to be the worst sponsor we've had, although that was remedied with their lovely neat logo for the first year with hummel
I don't think we'll find it hard to attract different sponsors for the most popular sport on the planet.
As I say it's multi faceted but I'd say drinking is as entrenched in football culture at gambling is, if not more. Money coming in doesn't make dealing with the devil the right thing.Do you think with alcohol it’s more to do with increased information about health impacts, e.g. alcohol’s impact on mental health? Not saying it is but there’s other variables.
I agree that if they removed it from everything to do with footy then it may have an impact. However gambling and football culture are entrenched, and through advertising and sponsorship it’s pouring millions into the sport. That won’t and can’t just pull the plug on that. Shirt sponsorship is the golden goose but won’t have the impact. Football not the only sport either, horse racing would cease to exist, so it’s a complex issue.
As much as people don’t believe this, UK gambling companies are trying to get ahead of the legislation regarding safer gambling (as much as anything to mitigate government intervention). The more negative PR they have, the more restrictions they’ll have put in place.
UK operators should be working towards a single user profile, shared database for gambling protection, which prevents problem gamblers from jumping between different sites. Not to mention my previous point about capping U25 spend.
Advertising should also be more explicit about the risks, and with online gaming make the return to player % explicit.
