I had a really important meeting this week with Emily Tofield and Daniel Bliss from YGam to discuss the impact of gambling and gaming harms on children and young people. Gambling addiction can have serious, long-term consequences. It’s vital we’re doing more to raise awareness.

I met with the @YgamUK CEO today to discuss concerns of parents on online gambling and the association with games on tablets and phones. Also discussed the importance of new PEGi ratings and issues associated with youth access to online gambling sites and games.
