Company fears betting and win caps in new law could hit its business
Lottery betting business Lottoland says the Government Minister promoting new gambling laws has refused to meet the company to discuss concerns raised weeks ago.
Mike Kirwan, the company’s vice-president for UK and Ireland, said it was concerned that Mr Browne had met colleagues from across its industry but had so far refused to discuss the Bill with Lottoland.Investment funds ‘crucial’ to ensure continuing resilience of public finances “We find it deeply concerning that a business making consistent efforts to ensure their compliance with the law cannot sufficiently communicate with those creating it,” Mr Kirwan said.
His letter states that the Minister wrongly told RTÉ Radio 1’s Drivetime that stake and win limits in the 1956 Gaming and Lotteries Act already applied to Lottoland. He notes that Lottoland had previously sought to discuss this with the Minister, as it is crucial to its own businesses.
