Mr. Gerry Cooney:

Very much so. It is part of the issue raised by Ms Leonard earlier. I refer to the secrecy associated with staying at home and being online. Gambling is extremely seductive anyway but online account gambling and the lack of tell-tale signs is a real worry. It is especially an issue for young people. There is no regulation of age range online and young people can open accounts. We have heard stories in the Rutland Centre of people as young as 16 and 17 years old accessing gambling forums easily, and even accessing their parents' credit cards on occasion, without any oversight. It is a major issue and one we cannot ignore.
