Okay. They have no scope in the margin because, as we heard from RGDATA, that 6% margin would apply to all other new agents, such as post offices, barbers, bookshops and cafés. I will not say café-bars because lottery tickets cannot be sold on licensed premises. However, that does not stop people sitting in a pub from buying online and potentially losing €75 a day if they wanted to. Is that fair comment?
