I hope he dies in agony.
This man lost his money though a lawful pursuit though, not illegal drugs. That comparison is frankly bollocks.
In order to achieve more lenient gambling laws in this country, bookies and casino owners have waxed lyrical about how they will help those addicted to gambling. Self exclusion was introduced so they look like they care and look like they are committed to helping out those that are out of their depth.
The bookies then ignore this self exclusion, when it suits them.
