insist all online gambling firms conduct regular credit checks on members
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.
Credit checks should not affect credit ratings
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
