All-Party Parliamentary Group is concerned about links between gambling advertising and problem gambling in the UK. The Group believes the Government's review of the 2005 Gambling Act should also include new forms of online gambling. The current law is outdated and does not meet the requirements for the sector's regulation in a digital era. It is also concerned that social casinos and slot streaming are not officially categorised as gambling activities. They are also worried about the opportunity of placing multiple in-play bets on e-sports events.
