Luke's Law: Gambling Suicide. Ban 'Free Bets'.

[LukesLaw]

Hello all,
I have recently lost my husband who took his own life after developing a gambling disorder during a time when he had been furloughed. I am heartbroken and there are no words to describe the trauma felt by me, my children and our families. I have made a video to explain what I am campaigning for and why. Please watch it.

Here is the link for my petition. Please sign this for me, it is what is keeping me going right now. I would really appreciate any signatures and I promise it doesn't take long to sign (literally 1 minute). 💙

Signed,I am so sorry for your loss

The link to the video didn't work for me, but I signed anyway. I am so sorry you lost your lovely husband and wish you every possible success with your petition.

Have signed. I’m so sorry for your and your children’s losses. My partner has suffered massively with gambling over the years, it’s not spoken about nearly as much as it should be. Sending all my thoughts to you

All signed.
I read your other thread and can’t tell you how sorry I am for you, your DC, both your families and your poor DH.
RIP Luke

You're all amazing! Thank you so much.
The video link doesn't seemnto work so i will leave it here in this comment.

Hi Mumsnet. Can we keep signing this petition. It means the world to me.

Signed, it is so easy for gambling to become a problem, and offers like this don't help.

Thank you 💙

I've signed it. I am furious at all the adverts on tv for betting sites, or Postcode lottery, or Bingo.

It's ludicrous that these things can advertise when they are so destructive. They should be banned in the same way cigarette advertising was banned.

Bump ❤️

Thank you ❤💙✍

Signed, I also hate all the adverts for bingo and gambling. I wish they could be stopped. One of the biggest employers in my local area is a well know betting company, and I know lots of people including staff who've got sucked into it so I know how insidious and destructive it can be.

I'm so sorry for your loss OP, I wish you luck with your campaign 💐

Yes, the adverts are sickening and only getting worse.
Thank you for signing
