WEEKLY FEATURE: UK Bans Online Credit Card Bets

Online bettors in the U.K. will soon have to pay for the activity in cash. A newly instituted ban on credit-funded bets will become effective in April. Ewallets and services including PayPal will likely be included in the ban. Gambling Commission CEO Neil McArthur (l.) says the move is designed to minimize harm to gamblers who play with money they do not have.
