I’d absolutely prefer we didn’t have a gambling sponsor (and I say this as someone who for several years played poker for a living)
But as I’ve said before, I struggle to understand why people are quite so horrified by the idea when we had an alcohol sponsor for years and (aside from a few complaints about how you couldn’t get a ‘proper’ kids kit) VERY few people had a problem with it.
I don’t say this to lessen the struggles of people with gambling problems, but alcohol causes far more societal problems (statistically speaking) than gambling does.
