Good Law Project’s Case Against GambleAware Shut down by Charity Commission

The Good Law Project celebrated in May when the Gambling Commission opened an investigation at its request into the charity GambleAware. Jolyon’s crew launched their assault because some of its funding comes from the gambling industry (normal) and its campaigns advocate adult self-control instead of the complete shut-down of the gambling industry:

“GambleAware runs high-profile advertising campaigns which experts say ‘imply that gamblers are a unique category of people who are personally to blame for their losses’, reflecting ‘a discourse promoted by the gambling industry which attempts to shift blame for gambling-related harm away from aggressively marketed harmful products and on to individual gamblers’.
