Introduce a GAMBLING CARD that is based on an individual disposable income.
A gambling card would control people spending and control frequency. The card limit would be based on disposable income. The card would have a monthly limit and no credit balances can be carried forward. The card will work on all platforms of gambling - shop counters, race courses and FOTB's.
Gambling was legalised in 1961 for better government control and to allow SMALL bets to be placed. There are 2 billion problem gamblers and it's increasing. The card would control frequency of betting which is the main trait of a problem gambler, together with the size of bets. Gambling results in bankruptcies, divorce, NHS costs, Crime, Benefit claims and Deaths. Most gamblers have a addiction disorder (an illness) and are vulnerable. In most cases gamblers don't want to gamble.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you'd like to help people who have a gambling addiction, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do or exactly how you'd like a gambling card to work.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the UK Government to work with gambling companies to create a scheme to help people to manage their gambling.
