Pitching relaxed EFTPOS rules as good for problem gamblers is “disgusting”, says FIVEAA\u2019s Mark Aiston.<\/h3>\n

Phoning in during a segment on Will Goodings\u2019 afternoon program, FIVEAA broadcaster Mark Aiston blasted as \u201cspin\u201d arguments that offering EFTPOS access inside gaming venues will help problem gamblers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am absolutely flabbergasted, disappointed and disgusted that they would think that they could sell this to the public,\u201d Mark said.<\/p>\n

Changes to regulations mean gamblers will now have access to EFTPOS facilities inside gaming venues.<\/p>\n

Mark said he had battled gambling problems in the past and was disappointed with the \u201cspin\u201d put on the changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a problem gambler for much of my life. I\u2019ve been a gambling addict.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me make this absolutely clear,\u201d he told Will.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocating an EFTPOS within a building where there is pokies is an absolute dream come true for any gambling addict.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019ll find that most gambling addicts would climb over barbed wire to get money when they run out.\u201d<\/p>\n
