Ms Boate keeps saying, "So they say", and I agree with her but, if anything, what she has said enhances my point. It is nothing to do with the witnesses personally but this needs one overarching regulator. Otherwise, there will be inconsistencies in approach. From a legislative point of view, I cannot see how we can distinguish gambling products, given the access now, and have different rules going in two different directions. It is madness. Ms Boate has made changes and those are all good from a regulatory point of view. With the new gambling regulator, hopefully that will come across the board. Ms Boate is correct that they say they are doing certain things and we do not fully know if they are yet. That is why we need a gambling regulator. Given that people will play across different websites including this one, we need an overarching view of that and that is why we need a regulator.
