Cody Kennedy+FollowInside the Real Problem with GamblingEver wonder why fixing problem gambling is so tricky? Turns out, even the experts can’t agree on what counts as harmful gambling—plus, mental health issues make it even messier. Some in the industry worry that too many rules will hurt business, while others say we need more support for at-risk players. One cool idea: treat responsible gambling tools like seatbelts—most won’t need them, but they’re lifesavers for those who do. The big takeaway? There’s no one-size-fits-all fix, but keeping things safe and regulated is key. #GamblingAwareness #MentalHealth #ResponsibleGaming #IndustryInsights #Finance70Share
Ashlee Thomas+FollowIrish Bank Lets You Block Gambling CardsDid you know Bank of Ireland just launched a feature to let you block your own debit card from gambling sites? This comes after a 19% spike in gambling by 18-25-year-olds, especially during big sports events (and even bets on the next pope!). The block is totally voluntary and aims to help people take back control if betting gets out of hand.

Jonathan Clarke+FollowAre Gambling Support Tools Just for Show?Ever feel like those 'responsible gambling' tools are just there for PR? Turns out, a lot of UK gamblers agree!
