We should follow Norway and nationalize all gambling. Treat it as a stupid tax. Also means you can put in protective measures to stop people from totally destroying their own lives.

Not quite sure how taxing someone’s addiction helps half a million children…
The money will immediately be absorbed into the ever widening blackhole of mathematical inevitability due to our current debt, and those who gamble will continue to do so…
However, I guess if I had to choose between taxing hard working people even more when they’re already paying more than any other nation on the planet, or gamblers, I suppose gamblers it is.
So this is exclusively useful to parents with 3 or more children? A pet scheme of Labour? This 2 child cap has also been around a while. Can’t see the change being popular, it’s a sop to the labour left who will move onto wanting to clobber someone else for the next scheme.
I hate these headlines….. the reality is they cant rule anything out as they got very few levers left to pull at this point.
They’ve boxed themselves in with this fiscal rule policy and its meant they’ve got very few options open to them to fix the public finances.
Should be taxed like Tobacco. It ruins lives and is addictive.
If they put a 20-40% income tax on gambling wins it would raise 8-16bn a year in extra tax.
Good, the gambling industry produces no economic value and taxing it will be much better than taxing work
When taxes increase, the cost is passed directly onto the players via changes in things such as odds. Each bet made now loses more. It also encourages players to play on off shore sites. Its already taxes very highly. I personally do 99% of my gambling outside of the UK now.
They seriously need to think about regulating their advertising as well.
No one actually cares about children in poverty – it’s just something people bring up (on both sides) to make them feel righteous.
