When the funds stop: bank card gambling blockers

In this live webinar recording our expert panel discuss a new report from the University of Bristol’s Personal Finance Research Centre (in partnership with Gamble Aware) on the availability, use, and design of bank card gambling blockers as well as examining what creditor staff can do to best support people who experience, or are at risk of gambling-related harm. • Should the law require every debit/credit card to be set – by default – to block customer expenditure on gambling? • Why have some banks launched gambling blockers on their payment cards, while others have not? • Is it a bank’s duty to provide such blocking controls? Joining our Vulnerability Lead Consultant Chris Fitch to discuss these and other questions are: - Sharon Collard, co-author of ‘A Blueprint for Bank Card Gambling Blockers’ - Alexandra Frean, Head of Corporate Affairs at Starling Bank - Tony Franklin, self-described problem gambler, and activist and writer on gambling reform - Matt Gaskell, Clinical Director of the NHS Northern Gambling Services Subscribe to our Vulnerability Matters newsletter for updates on future webinars, podcasts and training resources for creditors: https://mailchi.mp/moneyadvicetrust.org/vulnerability-matters-newsletter
