As Past President I loved spending the morning looking after the Duchess of Gloucester on behalf of the MWF at our Spring Conference.

Some important new changes below Gambling Commission including better and extended age verification and opting in rather than opting out of marketing. Financial checks will prevent the recent cases of NHS nurse on 30K spending 245K in 3 months and a new player losing 70K in 10 hours.
