S1 EP7: Tony Parente, Alex Macey (Gamvisory) & Matt Blanks

Ryan, Chris and Kish welcome guests Tony Parente and Alex Macey (Gamvisory) to talk through what appears to be systematic exploitation of compulsive gamblers and a whole other bunch of failures from the Operators and those charged in keeping them in check. VIP schemes, KYC & AML failings, NDA's and the Gambling Commission are all discussed. Later in the show we are joined by Matt Blanks as he gives a detailed version of just how hard it is to work in a betting shop whilst having an addiction to gambling, as well as the work he now does with Betknowmore and the up-and-coming Peer Aid project. This service will be up and running soon and so if you are listening in the London area and would like to get involved as a Peer Supporter email [email protected] or message him over on Twitter @MattBlanks4.
