Disgusting really.

The amount of these 'tipster' pages on socials earning absolute fortunes from bookies is absolutely crazy as well. I think I remember reading once that these affiliates earn up to 30% of a customers life time losses. Criminal.

its about time all gambling advertising went the way of tobacco advertising and sponsorship.

a modern day evil.

Well ... yeah.

It's horrific, obviously, but all bookmaker profits are "gamblers' losses", and all League clubs are getting some form of income from bookies.

This is likely to happen isn't it - but am sure continued pressure will bring it much closer.
