Graham Calvert, 28, asked William Hill to close his account and ban him because he was addicted and gambling over the telephone was “too easy”.
But he claims that despite being told he would not be eligible for another account for six months under the company’s self-exclusion policy, he was allowed to open a new account two months later.
In the following five months, he went on to lose £2 million. (The Telegraph)
Oh, grow up. It is only you who is to blame for your gambling addiction. It is you who bet your money, it is you who have no self control. It is not up to a betting shop to tell you that you can’t place a bet because you’re addicted, just like it isn’t the job of a pub to tell you that you’re drinking too much. Especially on the absurd principle that it is “too easy”. If it wasn’t that easy, people would be complaining that it isn’t easy enough!
If you can blame a betting shop for you gambling addiction, next you will be able to blame the cliff you jumped off of for being there.
