Following the passage of the US law that makes it illegal for American credit card companies to process payments to online gambling sites, MP Mike Weir has called upon the UK Government to take a similar action and prohibit the use of credit cards for online gambling in the UK.
“I have previously called for curbs on the use of credit cards but neither the gambling companies nor the credit card companies seem inclined to voluntarily address the problem,” said Weir.
“We need to take strong and long overdue action to tackle the rise of online gambling. Adopting the recent American legislation could certainly help us tackle this growing problem,” he added.
