| 1625440101126881281 | @Life0fGrimes @joebeevers @nickluck @andrewjonrhodes @GamRegGB It is trivially easy for the firms to identify people who have never played slots or online casino. If we have to keep saying that some products are more damaging and talking vaguely of 10% at harm then averages mean some products are almost totally safe and can be excluded. | 2 |

| 1627289575054798851 | Just realised we’ve got three tubs of Lurpak in the fridge. @GamRegGB could I use a photo of said fridge as evidence in an affordability check? | 28 |
| 1626166151091740672 | It's amazing the @GamRegGB is appearing to be so efficient in fining betting companies for breaches of rules etc yet #footballindex was allowed to go on for 2+ years unhampered and to continue to fleece customers of millions of £.

| 1624836774114611200 | @Footbal26063811 @mike20173753 Beyond a disgrace. The fact it was under investigation for years and known to be a ‘scam’ yet people were still allowed to deposit whilst the @GamRegGB and @TheFCA argued who’s responsibility it was is disgusting beyond belief. #footballindex | 10 |
