The Gambling Regulation Bill went back before the Seanad this week. The legislation includes stake and win limits on some forms of betting, as well as a broad restriction on gambling advertising before the 9pm TV watershed. He argued that this trend was emerging in the UK which is introducing tougher restrictions on punters. “I’ve seen reports from the UK in the last two weeks that it is rampant there,” Mr Fitzpatrick said.

Restrictions proposed by the law include limits on bets at blackjack and roulette and lotteries to €10 and winnings to €3,000. The law also bans all gambling advertising between 5:30am and 9pm.
