insist all online gambling firms conduct regular credit checks on members

Petition Details

Betting firms get richer preying on those that can't afford to gamble who subsequently go through financial hell. "Gamble responsibly" message is not enough. Suggest firms are forced to run regular credit checks and automatically force ban on those with poor credit or in debt.

Additional Information

Credit checks should not affect credit ratings

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise is not the responsibility of the Government or Parliament. This would currently be an operational decision for online gambling firms. You could start a petition calling on Parliament to change the law, to make this a legal requirement for anyone offering online gambling services in the UK.
