The gambling act of 2005 is an act to help keep gambling safe and legal, the act working on three points:
· Keeping gambling crime free - if gambling is crime free it will have a direct impact on illegal gambling; it will decrease the amount of illegal gambling, if gambling is crime free then as well there will be less crime in general on the streets. An example of when cheats in gambling would be last year the Pakistani cricket team, were caught out when they placed bets on a certain part of the game where they would throw no balls. They were caught out and this is an example of when this point comes into effect.
· Making sure that gambling is fair and open - gambling has to be fair and open so that it works, if it was not fair then not many people would do it and the bookies would earn money. In a way the house always wins but on some occasions someone wins, for example bet fair have changed Instead of 20%, they now want 40-60% of your winnings depending on how much commission you generate for them. These odds are unrealistic and there would be less money being won which is unfair.
· protecting children and vulnerable adults - children should not be shown gambling, because at a young age they can be influenced and this can have a negative effect on them , also certain people like disabled people and homeless people who might be a bit naive or addicted to gambling might need to be shown it and protected from it , other wise then they can lose all of there money. Children should be protected from gambling otherwise then from a young age children could be in debt for the things they want and then they could grow up though there life like that.
· http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11122388%20This article talks about the Pakistani cricket team throwing no balls at certain times in the game when someone has put as bet on for this team to throw the balls at that time. it relates with ‘keeping gambling crime free ‘this is a very unfair way to bet because it was fixed the team fixed those balls so that they could cheat the system and win money , because there is one person who decided that they want to cheat then for the future games there might be an outside chance that they might be cheating , so there is an element of doubt when playing that team ever again , which would ruin the game as a whole , because what’s the point in playing against a team that are purposely playing to cheat.
