Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion
Dr. Crystal Fulton:
I listed a number in my comments today. Those are comments that came up a lot. Those are some of the main issues that arose.
Sometimes they were not sure exactly how legislation could fix it but they knew they wanted it to fix it. I refer to regulation of all of these matters.
They want to make sure that others are safe. They are concerned. It did not matter whether people were involved in land-based gambling - some people did land-based gambling only - or whether they were online gamblers, they where all worried about young people's exposure to gambling and young people starting gambling, potentially underage.
