Dave has £50,000 of gambling debt spread over up to six credit cards. He saw an advert about a way to gamble using credit on mobile phones. The Gambling Commission is watching closely for any unintended consequences of the ban and will consider further intervention if necessary.

The ban on gambling with credit cards has been introduced. But some online casinos allow people to pay their phone bills with a credit card. This is against the spirit of the ban. There is a limit on how much people can spend on their phones in this way.
