Gamblers from UK are the one who should worry because this report is coming out from UK OP did not mentioned in his article whose government implemented this rule, gamblers operator should worry too because they will have less profit and many will not play frequently than they used to be, UK people are to much into gambling that the government have to intervene, and this is not a good intervention.
What is good intervention?, any government that can't help the citizens to save for their future when things go worse like what is going on in the country. We'll know what the coronavirus pandemic has caused and still causing and for any government to make such decisions in order to control their citizens in my opinion is a fair treatment and it's a good intervention.
