A UK study proposes guidelines for banks to keep an eye out for gambling-related harm.

A recent study from Queen Mary University of London suggests that banks can play a key role in tackling gambling harm.

There a lack of consistency in how banks address this issue. The study calls for industry standards and cooperation between banks and gambling regulators to address this gap.
