CARE's Director of Parliamentary Affairs, Dan Boucher spoke to Premier radio about how the gambling industry must step up and do more to help out gambling addicts.
"The gambling industry made £12.6 billion of profit last year, says CARE. From that profit, only £7 million was donated to gambling addiction charities. Boucher called for the industry to do much more to help. He told Premier: "We should move to a place where the gambling industry puts back in to help those who suffer as a consequence of the product it provides. They currently only contribute less than a tenth of one per cent of their gross gambling yield."
If you didn't manage to catch Dan live on the Premier Radio news show talking about this, Premier also wrote a news article about the issue based on Dan's interview. You can read it HERE.
