New gambling tax in the next budget

If you sign up to GamStop and self exclude you can still spend upto £500 per month playing on-line lottery. That seems really weird to me as it’s still gambling.

But don't worry, because half of your losses end up funding "good causes".

...and don't get me started on charity lotteries where the primary raison d'être is to fund its own bloated cost base.

Anyway, whatever tax the government may add, it is the punters who will always end up paying.

Few punters cared back in the day when it was 9% so doubt your recreational punter would care again enough to stop. Now we have 'point of consumption' in place no reason not to bring it in again.
