Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (15 Dec 2022)

Verona Murphy: We also asked whether there was any obligation on the national lottery in regard to its welfare spend. Mr. Algeo could not tell us. We might ask the regulator whether there is an obligation for a minimum spend and, if so, what that figure is. Another point is that the regulator said there was a breach. When we asked Mr. Algeo if there were other breaches, he refused to answer other than...

Verona Murphy: We have an illegal activity for which Mr. Cody does not have a breakdown of revenue. We have the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956, which we will discuss later in respect of the national lottery. Mr. Cody does not know what the revenue from e-gaming is. The UK, where the figures are gathered, had revenue of £14 billion from this. Does Mr. Cody know that 60% of profits for online gambling...

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022)

Verona Murphy: ...had found PLI to be in breach of Schedule 9, paragraphs 6(b) and 6(c) of the licence? Forty-eight people self-excluded, yet PLI invaded their exclusions by providing them with information from the lottery less than 36 hours after they had self-excluded. Is that not correct?

Verona Murphy: ...of who are at serious risk. Bearing in mind that, at our earlier session, we discussed how e-gaming was an illegal activity in Ireland, in that it is unregulated, PLI is lucky that it has the national lottery legislation. The people who are accessing the national lottery site are not so lucky, though, as it appears that PLI could not care less. It has no information about player welfare...

Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales (8 Dec 2022)

Verona Murphy: The regulator clearly has questions to answer in that case. It is obvious that the lottery has had similar breaches but Mr. Algeo is afraid to say it. That is all right. We will bring representatives of the regulator back before the committee. This is a ridiculous scenario. Mr. Algeo has made no effort to give the committee a flavour of how the national lottery regards the welfare of...

Gambling Regulation Bill 2022: Second Stage (6 Dec 2022)

Verona Murphy: ...game in the operation and manipulation of players to bring them more and more into highly addictive gambling. For instance, a player might go on a website to place bets on a race, a match or even lottery numbers and then be enticed by free bets into taking a punt on a casino game, slots, a virtual race or the like. In 2017, the Department of Justice estimated that the market for...
