There are around 280,000 problem gamblers in England alone, according to a 2018 study by NHS Digital, although a YouGov survey earlier this year found there could be 1.4 million across the UK.

The current self-exclusion scheme within the bookies is inadequate, and requiring individuals to be members of a gambling shop in order to place a bet would make it easier for people to decide to self-exclude or end their membership if they wish to quit gambling.
