I doubt it is. Ms Buckley raised concerns about online gambling and a lack of controls. Gambling control legislation has still not been enacted. Is that an area that can be abused? Online gambling is available from all of the main bookies, a sector which is currently not controlled.

What I was trying to highlight is that somebody today could go on. There is a national lottery in the national lottery app but one could also just Google "Play the national lottery" and be directed to all these sites. Half the time, the punter does not know these sites have nothing to do with the national lotteries of the various countries. One is gambling on the results of a national lottery in any country. There are sites available where one can do this. None of one's money goes to good causes, but when one goes in one might think one is playing the Irish national lottery or the French. However, while one might think one was playing the national lottery and giving some money to good causes, the fact of the matter is that one is not. A huge amount of traffic is going there now. It is not going to the actual national lottery website or app. The traffic is going onto these lotto type platforms.
