Bookmakers have been accused of using ‘predatory’ tactics to lure back former gambling addicts during the coronavirus lockdown.
With betting shops closed, firms have flooded social media with promotions offering welcome bonuses of up to £1,500.
Health professionals, addiction specialists and MPs said people who had kicked their habit were struggling to cope with the targeted adverts, texts and emails.
The country’s top mental health official said the deliberate targeting of ex-addicts was ‘shameless’ and ‘below the belt’.
And a report by a former detective has accused bookmakers of failing to check whether gamblers are using stolen money.

The Daily Mail’s Stop the Gambling Predators campaign continues to call for greater protection for addicts.
