I would quibble with the requirements of the betting sector generally. I think it is way too broad, given that it is about licensing them for a certain activity. Generally it would suggest that one could have any Uncle Tom, the kitchen sink and so on. Given the concerns there are, I know this is part and parcel of the business and I am not suggesting it ought not to be there, but in the legislative framework that seems very broad.
