The wife of a man who took his own life after racking up gambling debts of £18,000 has said the Gambling Commission is not doing enough to protect gamblers after launching legal action against the regulator at the High Court.
Annie Ashton, whose husband Luke died aged 40 in 2021, is seeking the green light to challenge the commission’s decision not to take regulatory action against gambling firm Betfair after a coroner found that a gambling disorder contributed to his death.
