GAMBLING AND CREDIT CARDS

Early day motion 1188, tabled 23 April 2018 by Mike Penning (Conservative). Signed by 18 members.

That this House calls on the Government to implement a total ban on the use of credit cards for all forms of gambling, online gambling in particular; further calls on the Government to understand that gambling in all its forms can destroy the lives of the people addicted to it and have a huge impact on their family and those close to them; and notes that credit encourages people to gamble with money they do not have.
