The online casino goaded addict to gamble away £20,000 on sister site
I totally agree with the below, the sooner pre-verfication comes in, the better IMO.
This guy had already had his account suspended at LeoVegas, but was bombarded with marketing for sister casinos, and eventually opened an account at 21.co.uk, and lost £20K using his mother's debit card before ID verification was asked for, at which point it was discovered the card wasn't his own.
Labour’s deputy leader, Tom Watson, who is pushing for tighter controls on online gambling, said: “It makes no sense for gambling companies to be doing ID and affordability checks after gamblers have lost huge sums, rather than before they’ve placed the bets.
