The NCVO has given a cautious welcome to the government’s decision to work to ban
the new Pronto online lottery.
In a statement, NCVO Chief Executive Stuart Etherington
said that the organisation does “recognise that there have been concerns over the
social and gambling aspects associated with such new games and that the Government
is concerned to ensure that such risks are minimised”.
