Require all 'competition' sites to be fully regulated by the Gambling Commission
I want the Government to legally require all 'competition' sites, such as those offering paid-entry prize draws, skills-based competitions and other types, to be fully regulated and licenced, and monitored by the Gambling Commission in order to operate.
I think these sites are worse than casinos with insufficient or no warnings and checks. It has come to my attention that these sites are causing a lot of problems for those with gambling issues. I'm concerned about the lack of regulation, that large amounts can often be spent with relative ease and what I see as most of the companies having very little consideration for the people using their sites. I believe fully regulating these companies will help thousands of people with gambling issues.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
