72. The great COVID gambling scandal - and how it wrecks lives
Ep. 72
•

Matt Zarb Cousin and James Grimes are two former gambling addicts turned campaigners who tell me how they were driven to the very edge, how the industry exploits the vulnerable, how cosmetic reforms have made little difference - and how the worst post-war emergency allowed online gambling to thrive.
