The review is expected to propose three options other than £100, according to Whitehall sources who said Theresa May was personally against maintaining the status quo. The review is also expected to include a plan in which gambling companies – and broadcasters who benefit from their adverts – fund a public awareness campaign about problem gambling. Bookies have also been criticised by leading charity GambleAware for failing to train staff to spot problem gambling and not displaying anti-addiction messages prominently enough. One well-placed industry source said he believed that the review could also recommend tighter restrictions on children’s access to seaside amusement arcade machines. It was originally due to be released in June but was delayed when the prime minister called a surprise general election.
