Betting company Betfair has admitted it could have done more to protect a father-of-two who took his own life while suffering a “pervasive” gambling addiction, an inquest has heard.
Luke Ashton died at the age of 40 on April 22 2021, leaving behind a wife and two children, after online gambling “consumed” him and saw him lose £5,000 in one month alone just before he took his own life.
