Oh, this the problem's much, much worse than ever thought previously thought, is because of the methodology.

Now, I'm a bookmaker.

I'm not an expert like Christopher on these kind of matters, or Dan War, who's an acknowledged the leading expert on gas.

Gambling in the United Kingdom right now.

They all collectively, all the experts that you hear, true unbiased experts, go, this is a nonsense.

And of course, in the background, the gambling commission is going to the government, yeah, they can pay more tax.

And not just a little bit more tax, a lot more tax.

And what's happened since they announced that they would be that the gambling

Industry with paying a lot more tax?

Well, Flutter have departed the UK uh financial markets.

Flutter, the biggest gambling company in the world, have just gone, right, we're out of London.

There may be other factors involved, but essentially they know it's a negative gambling environment.

They're out, they've gone to New York.

Entain have sold off various parts of their organization, European parts of their organization, and you know, the each of the big companies.

Companies have reacted by pulling out of sponsors and everything else like that.

All the all the things that these large operators said would happen are happening in real time as a result of being landed with punitive tax measures.

Because all I see as a bookmaker, and we can do nothing about it because we have to do that, is our margins go.

Going up and up and up to pay for all of these extra regulatory and taxation costs, which means the return to the customer is much less than it's ever been before.
