Tonight airs a new episode tonight Thursday 9 March 2023 on ITV.
“High Stakes? Britain’s Betting Boom” The United Kingdom has the world’s largest regulated online gambling sector, and with the rise of mobile devices and the proliferation of online products and games of all kinds, gamblers are no longer confined to a desktop computer or even a fixed location but can place bets wherever and whenever they like using only their smartphones. There have been no major changes to gambling regulations in the United Kingdom for the past 18 years; the government is currently consulting on new reform, but it remains to be seen whether or not this will be sufficient to safeguard consumers. Paul Brand investigates the tragic consequences of gambling, speaking with those who have been affected and with those who are attempting to alleviate the growing demand placed on Britain’s treatment facilities.
