Northern Ireland's Social Development Minister Margaret Ritchie has announced plans to review the country's gambling laws.
Ritchie said that current legislation is “not robust enough to deal with modern gambling.”
“Current legislation is old, inflexible and hard to understand and the gambling market has moved on,” she said. “There are new products and new ways of gambling that the current law never envisaged. It is in everyone’s interests that the gambling industry is regulated effectively, which is why I am initiating this review.”
