Review
"Miers leads us with thoroughness and authority but also with an agreeable lightness of touch all the main pieces of gambling legislationMiers' book however is not simply a fine resource for anyone interested in UK gambling law. It is also a fascinating social history and implies an exploration of profound issues in political theory about the freedom of individuals to choose how to live their own lives"
Peter Collins, University of Salford, Society for the study of Gambling, Newsletter

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Three quarters of the British population gamble (mainly on the National Lottery), and they generate around 46 billion pounds a year. This volume sets recent developments in the regulation and deregulation of its three primary forms - betting, gaming, and lotteries - against an account of their social and legal history. Many of the concerns that excite controversy today are little different from those with which the Home Office grappled formost of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Based upon Home Office files and contemporary accounts, this book begins by evaluating how the law was used to control and suppress popular gambling.Miers shows how and why prohibition gave way to the recognition that regulation offered a more effective method of controlling a social pastime that, by the mid-twentieth century, had become a feature of everyday life. Concerns over gambling have recently resurfaced, as a result of Government proposals to replace the existing strict controls with a regulatory regime that will give greater scope for licensees to adopt more competitive practices. Like the introduction ofthe National Lottery in 1994, these proposals represent a marked departure from the traditional response: to permit but not to stimulate commercial gambling. The potential for expansion in opportunitiesto gamble raises concerns about the accessibility of gambling to children and the possibility of increased numbers of problem gamblers. Miers examines the implementation and impact of the present law governing gaming and the National Lottery in terms of regulation and the enforcement of regulatory regimes. He focusses on how these regimes regulate the probity of the supplier, the supply of gambling opportunities, the nature of the transaction, and the player's participation. The book concludeswith an evaluation of the Gambling Bill, a draft of which was published in 2003 aiming to give effect to the Government's proposals. This book is about the public regulation of commercial gambling in Great Britain. It examines recent changes and proposals for change to three primary forms - betting, gaming, and lotteries - against an account of their social and legal history. The author then moves forward to analyse the current regime and evaluate the impact of the Gambling Bill (introduced in 2003) upon it. This item is printed on demand.
