GPRU found many issues that put customers' financial and mental well-being at risk. The process of opening an account at such sites is much easier than closing one. There is no provision for receiving transaction receipts to help keep a record of your financial operations at these platforms. GPRu’s study also found an absence of age verification procedures that could help verify player accounts and keep track of their losses during gameplay.
BIT CEO and GPRU Steering Group Chair David Halpern is disappointed by the current state of irresponsibility displayed by UK gambling sites. Hal pern believes it's not impossible to design gambling platforms that encourage responsible gambling.
