Description: How did Britain come to be one of the largest gambling markets in the world? Drawing on the themes of his new book Jackpot, Rob Davies argues that from the mainstreaming of gambling advertising in the early 2000s to the high-tech microtargeting of online gamblers today, the industry has profited from preying on the most vulnerable in society and conquered the nation.
