No, my point was theoretical. However I imagine there will be groups that think gambling should be banned full stop.
Let's call a spade a spade. Of course things related to gambling are designed to entice people, you just have to look at the front of amusement arcades etc to see that. And yes, gambling machines are designed to entice you to keep playing. However all of that is getting into the moral discussion as oppose to legality. I appreciate there is correlation.
If you own a bar, x amount of your customers will have a drinking problem. If you own a gambling establishment, x amount will have a gambling problem.

Typically unbiased opinion from the little ray of sunshine that is Elle.
It’s the conservatives fault that gambling companies make money as they changed the tax laws to make it more attractive.......... oh, hold up. Actually it was Bliar & Frown under a labour government.

Do you think there ought to be some protection for these mugs, to make up to them for what they loose? I really don't think so.
I was watching a tv prog a few weeks back, maybe a Panorama or something, discussing challenges for working class areas. One of the things they mentioned was the number of bookmakers per square mile in less affluent areas compared to middle/upper class areas. Not surprising I know, however still made for interesting viewing. I think they visited a typical shopping precinct in such an area and there were 3 or 4 bookies all within a stones throw of each other.

Can anybody actually visualize realistically earning that type of money. It's almost unimaginable. How would you even invest that amount of money?

I was thinking more of controlling the activities of the vendor.
In the same way that a bar licensee is not allowed to sell vodka to children, or alcohol to people who are drunk, or, during social distancing, not allowed to sell twenty beers to a person buying a round for his table of mates, or to sell cocaine to bankers, or to organise drinking games encouraging excess.
It is inversely proportional to the number of Waitrose stores
