In the final episode of The Invisible Addiction podcast series, I speak with Matt Zarb-Cousin, leader of the Clean-Up Gambling campaign, co-founder of the betting blocking software GamBan, and former spokesperson for Jeremy Corbyn.
It’s a podcast jam-packed with plenty of conversational topics.
- Matt shares his gambling addiction story and how recovery laid a path into politics and work in the Labour party
- Matt discusses his successful campaign which reduced Fixed Odd Betting Terminals (FOBTs) to £2 per spin – his quote famously picked up in the press as “the crack cocaine of gambling”
- Matt chats about his new campaign Clean-Up Gambling and his viewpoints for the comprehensive review of the 2005 Gambling Act, such as the introduction of stake limits and affordability checks.
It’s a conversation that will be of interest to many of us, especially people in recovery and the wider public.
Matt is a fascinating human being, bustling with ideas and opinions, and it was nothing but a privilege to speak with him. I’m hugely excited to share the conversation with you!
Cheers guys,
Alex ☺️
