Firms 'failing to help gamblers'

The Responsibility in Gambling Trust told the BBC it has reached its target of £3.5 million but is concerned that many firms have not made a donation.

The industry donations fund research into problem gambling and also treatment services for gambling addicts including education about how to gamble sensibly.

Culture Secretary Andy Burnham warned in February that licensed gambling operators would face a statutory levy unless they came up with more cash for the trust.
