Podcast appearances and mentions of matt zarb cousin

Following comments by MP Dan Carden, co-chair of the APPG Racing & Bloodstock. With regard to the separation of Online Casinos & Sports Betting when bookmakers are enforcing affordability checks. Nick was joined in the studio by Matt Zarb-Cousin, Samantha Martin & Neil Channing. To discuss the merits & credibility of this conception.

The cavalry has come over the hill and it's being led by Matt Zarb Cousin of all people! Gambling reformer says Take Affordability Checks Off British Racing: High profile gambling reform campaigner stands up for British Horseracing The man who led the campaign against FOBTs says: “It's time for racing to get the target off its back and cut the cord with online casino. Matt Zarb Cousin says that a separate wallet and platform for horseracing would exempt the sport from affordability checks — and would have the support of campaigners. The impact of the affordability checks, which the gambling industry has imposed on horseracing fans, is clearly shown in the latest official figures from the UK Gambling Commission. Turnover is down by £3.2B — a fall of 28% since the intrusive and offensive requests for personal financial details from punters were introduced. Meanwhile during the same period turnover for online casino has rocketed in the opposite direction. Not all gambling products cause the same levels of harm and horseracing punters are being subjected to the protections needed for much more addictive non-skilled products like online slots. Despite years of virtual signalling by the “supposed friends of the sport” no-one has properly made the case for an exemption from affordability checks for horseracing. The British Horseracing Authority has never advocated on behalf of the racehorse owners and punters, who ultimately pay their wages, by proposing to extricate racing from online casino. Instead, those supposedly lobbying for racing's interests have argued against affordability checks, despite them being needed to curtail rampant online slots and casino growth which is coming at the expense of racing revenue. Under the proposal advanced by Matt Zarb-Cousin, horseracing customers of betting companies would be exempt from affordability checks as betting would be offered on a different platform to online casino with a separate wallet, subject to a system of regulation that acknowledges a 300 year old national heritage sport should not be subjected to the financial risk checks needed for the casino product. Funds would be completely ring-fenced from other gambling products and money would remain in the racing eco system, as cross-promotion to products like online casino would be constrained.

Keir Starmer became Labour leader based on a pack of lies, and after promising party unity, waged a ceaseless war on the left. But given our electoral system - and the choice being a Tory or a Labour government - do we have no choice but to support the main opposition?Matt Zarb Cousin is Jeremy Corbyn's former spokesperson and recently defected to the Green Party.

Are regulators doing enough to safeguard people against betting companies and their aggressive customer acquisition strategies?Problem gamblers account for 46% of betting company revenue while making up only 5% of players. Up to 1 in 20 British men will, at least for a time, be a problem gambler, something that can take decades to recover from. So what are regulators doing to help?Here to answer this is Matt Zarb-Cousin, a former teenage problem gambler who went on to co-found Gamban, the award-winning software that blocks devices from accessing gambling sites and apps. He is also a long-time industry campaigner advocating for gambling regulation reform in the UK.In this episode, we discuss: (1) how current regulation is insufficient to address modern betting technology; (2) what regulators could do to reduce harm; and (3) how sports betting is being spread into new markets, in part, to ‘bait' people onto more dangerous games such as slot machines.Please feel free to reach out to the show onWeb: sustainingsport.comInstagram: @sustainingsportLinkedin: /sustaining-sportFacebook: @sustainingsportTwitter: @SustainSportPodDonate to our Patreonor contact us at: benmole@sustainingsport.com

Our Cousin Matt joins us to Zarbitrate the Jeremy Corbyn era, the traumatising media of this deeply unserious country and, most importantly, hope sowed with the kids inspired by allotment grandad. With further news concerning last year's leaked report that revealed a litany of factional sabotage, racism and shed light some of the most bizarre nihilists within the party, Matt recounts his experiences with the absolute clowncar pile-up of the Labour Right. /// SHOW NOTES /// /// CREDITS /// Hosts: Aarjan /// Ruairi Guests: Matt Zarb-Cousin Production: Aarjan Music: Cardio /// Alfa Mist - Glad I Lived

Bloomberg Westminster's Roger Hearing and Caroline Hepker discuss the government's review of the gambling industry, which saw a huge jump in online gaming during the pandemic. Mark Griffiths, psychologist and director of the international gaming research unit at the Nottingham Trent University, says there are some half a million problem gamblers in the U.K. A figure that has remained fairly steady for the past 20 years. Matt Zarb-Cousin, director of Clean-Up Gambling, says a major overhaul of regulation is needed in the face of online betting platforms. Whilst Andy Mace, former Head of bet365's Casino business, argues the industry is the most regulated in the world and takes its responsibilities seriously.

In the final episode of The Invisible Addiction podcast series, I speak with Matt Zarb-Cousin, leader of the Clean-Up Gambling campaign, co-founder of the betting blocking software GamBan, and former spokesperson for Jeremy Corbyn. It's a podcast jam-packed with plenty of conversational topics. - Matt shares his gambling addiction story and how recovery laid a path into politics and work in the Labour party - Matt discusses his successful campaign which reduced Fixed Odd Betting Terminals (FOBTs) to £2 per spin – his quote famously picked up in the press as “the crack cocaine of gambling” - Matt chats about his new campaign Clean-Up Gambling and his viewpoints for the comprehensive review of the 2005 Gambling Act, such as the introduction of stake limits and affordability checks. It's a conversation that will be of interest to many of us, especially people in recovery and the wider public. Matt is a fascinating human being, bustling with ideas and opinions, and it was nothing but a privilege to speak with him. I'm hugely excited to share the conversation with you! Cheers guys, Alex ☺️

This week, 11-A-Side are looking at Gambling and football, and question whether the relationship between the two is out of control. From the volume of adverts, to the numbers of sponsors, gambling has become embedded within football. In the podcast Chris and Lukas speak to the director of Clean Up Gambling, Matt Zarb-Cousin.  In a thought-provoking discussion, we explore the key problems that have arisen from this unhealthy relationship, and ultimately what needs to change.

Matt was previously Jeremy Corbyn’s spokesman and has been instrumental in bringing about more stringent regulation on betting companies in the UK, through the Campaign for Fairer Gambling. We talk about Matt’s previous gambling addiction and the depths that he fell to as a result, we discuss the impact of gambling in communities throughout the UK, and Matt talks about working with Jeremy Corbyn in the run up to the general election, as well as both our thoughts on the current political landscape both north and south of the border.If you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised in this episode, take note of the advice Matt gives and you can also find relevant links and information in the episode notes.

Jack and Geraint are joined by longtime friend of the show Matt Zarb-Cousin; former spokesman for Jeremy Corbyn - and, subsequently, one of the few reliably left-wing pundits to get a hearing in the media - current spokesman for the Clean Up Gambling campaign, aide to Rebecca Long-Bailey on her sadly unsuccessful leadership campaign, and, most importantly, repeat RP guest. In his first appearance since 2017, he talks us through his issues with the milquetoast strategy currently being pursued by Keir Starmer; one that he claims strongly resembles that of David Cameron. We look back on some of the successes and failures of Corbynism, and hopefully touch on a myriad other subjects that should *ahem* boil some centrist piss. Go to https://cleanupgambling.com to check out Matt's current campaign.

Years of soft-touch regulation and the universal adoption of smartphones have created a “perfect storm of addictive 24/7 gambling”, making “the lives of two million people miserable” – according to a House of Lords Select Committee report looking into the betting industry. Its 66 recommendations include a ban on “loot boxes” in video games, which can often be bought for real money and offer a randomised reward; many see this as a dangerous gateway to gambling for children. It wants to ease the industry out of sports sponsorship; half the Premier League football clubs are currently supported by betting companies. It wants new taxes on gambling with the money used to fund addiction clinics. What, if any, is the moral equivalence between problem gambling and other forms of addiction to recreational activities like drinking and smoking? If it’s a public health issue rather than a matter of individual free choice, how heavily should gambling be restricted? Perhaps, because gambling addiction can often have a wider social impact, hurting families and friends as well as the addicts themselves, it should be compared to drug abuse. If that’s reasonable, why not just treat gambling like any class A drug and make it illegal? Gambling enthusiasts and libertarians see it as a leisure activity which offers harmless fun to the vast majority of punters. They believe there is nothing intrinsically immoral about the industry, although most admit that betting companies do have a duty of care to vulnerable clients. Are problem gamblers the hapless victims of a heartless racket or does that rob them of moral agency and free them of personal responsibility? Is problem gambling a disease, a moral failing or just the downside of freedom? With Dr Henrietta Bowden-Jones, Brigid Simmonds, Christopher Snowdon and Matt Zarb-Cousin. Producer: Dan Tierney.

Ryan, Chris and Kish are this week joined by Professor Samantha Thomas of Public Health at Deakin University and Matt Zarb-Cousin who runs Clean Up Gambling.
