Britain bans using credit cards to gamble

LONDON - Britain's 24 million adult gamblers will not be able to use credit cards to make bets under a new rule designed to prevent consumers from building up too much debt, sending shares in betting companies sharply lower.

Research by the commission classes 22 percent of online gamblers who use credit cards as"problem gamblers". British betting companies are also struggling with the government's clampdown on high-speed slot machines, which critics have called the"crack cocaine" of gambling.

Well then what’s the point?

Good move.
