Fair enough.Yeah, I'd say marketing is tailored to the customer's profile. If you're not hitting their radar as a likely problem gambler, they'll lob everything they can at you.
I'm sure only a short time ago, everybody would have been in the same boat, in fact, problem gamblers would have got hit with every freebie and marketing ploy under the sun but I know that that was clamped down on in the last couple of years.
Out of interest though, what would likely show up on their radar as a problem gambler? I mean I know a few people who would have a lot of bets over a week/month, but they're fully in control, while some other poor saps would bet on a few days a week/month because they're broke.
And then you have the guy who can lose a grand a month and it's be pocket money, while another guy losing 100 quid a week would put serious strain on them.
It must be a minefield come to think of it.
