The key issue is the absence of information on the regulator's website. It would be no harm if it was brought up to date. Joe Duffy raises many issues on his "Liveline" show. Recently, he raised the issue of gambling, including online gambling, and had quite a number of people on the programme to discuss it. It was stated there were considerable concerns on the part of customers who complained about alleged upselling by some retail agents associated with the Topaz chain of garages. It was indicated that the national lottery regulator felt the national lottery games could not be upsold by retailers.
