He proposes that a mandatory levy should be coupled with suitable mitigating steps to ensure the sustainability of these enterprises. <\/p>\n<p>Duher elaborated, &#8216;Our biggest participant has committed to donating 1% of their earnings to bolster exploration, instruction, and therapy via entirely autonomous avenues. It&#8217;s vital that these resources reach the highest-impact organizations, those dedicated to empirically-supported methods, which is a paramount concern for both BGC and our affiliates. Honestly, the origin of this funding shouldn&#8217;t be a point of contention. I&#8217;ve previously encountered some within the NHS who voiced hesitation about receiving support from our industry, so it&#8217;s heartening to observe that this is no longer an obstacle.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The British gaming sector, as represented by the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), has expressed a willingness to consider a mandatory operator fee to support programs addressing problem gambling.
