Description
Gambling and Sport Gambling or betting and sport have almost been inseparable and gambling has been subject to considerable regulation by the State. Gambling has close links with the general commercialisation of sport and with corrupt practices in sport which can be illustrated by such affairs as the Hansie Cronje Affair, 2020 cricket issues surrounding Alan Stamford and other cases such as Bradley (1) in horse racing. With two very distinct issues in discussion in this paper we will be looking at the laws governing the gambling and betting in the UK combined with a number of social policy issues detailing measures to regulate betting for the benefit of society. The National Lottery will not be expanded on other than to say an independent study, British Survey of Children, the National Lottery and Gambling 2008-09, is the only British underage research of its kind and was commissioned by the National Lottery Commission to test the effectiveness of Camelot's child protection measures. The survey of nearly 9,000 children aged between 12 and 15 in England and Wales was conducted by Ipsos MORI and the Centre for the Study of Gambling at the University of Salford. (2)
