I accept that but Ms Buckley said RGDATA's members have a difficulty with the national lottery, which is raising money for good causes, doing that online and taking away customers who might have historically bought scratch cards in shops as an impulse purchase when buying the paper, cigarettes and so on. They might now use the app on their phone to play these games in the pub or at home and RGDATA members are not generating whatever margin is available to them from those tickets.
