MP Calls for Cap on Gamging Credit
An MP from Scotland has called for all credit card companies to place a spending limit on the amount that online gamblers can spend online.
Scottish, Angus MP Mike Weir, from the Scottish National Party (SNP), has called for a credit limit to be set at GBP1,000 a week, and also asked that gambling sites set a limit of one credit card per person.
This plea comes after a spate of cases where gambling addicts have spent thousands of pounds using other people’s cards.
APACS, which represents the card industry, say there are significant technical problems with the idea and see the solution in treating the player’s addiction at their source.
