bling advertising standards
The Gambling Commission has welcomed tightened advertising standards which focus on adverts appealing to problem gamblers and on free bets and bonuses.

The new standards, announced by the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) today and enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), will:

restrict ads that create an inappropriate sense of urgency like those including “Bet Now!” offers during live events
curb trivialisation of gambling (eg encouraging repetitive play)
prevent approaches that give an irresponsible perception of the risk or control (eg “Risk Free Deposit Bonus”)
provide greater detail on problem gambling behaviours and associated behaviours indicators that should not be portrayed, even indirectly
prevent undue emphasis on money-motives for gambling
provide more detail on vulnerable groups like problem gamblers that marketers need to work to protect.
Further clarification surrounding terms and conditions for free bets and bonus offers has also been published. CAP has outlined that significant conditions must always be prominently displayed, with other terms and conditions being at most only one click away. This complements a joint programme of work with the Gambling Commission and Competition and Markets Authority to ensure terms and conditions for promotions are fair and transparent for consumers.

Ian Angus, Gambling Commission Programme Director, said: “The new advertising standards set clear expectations for the gambling industry. Gambling firms must not advertise in a way that could encourage problem gambling behaviour. Consumers must be able to make informed choices about how and when they gamble and not feel pressured into making decisions that could cause them harm.

“We expect gambling businesses to review the new guidance now and adjust any marketing and advertising accordingly. We support any enforcement activity by the ASA against operators who do not comply, and will not hesitate to take our own action against those who do not take their responsibilities seriously.”

The Gambling Commission has today fined an online gambling operator for repeatedly misleading consumers with adverts relating to free bonuses.

CAP’s new standards will come into effect on 2 April 2018.

Malcomm - please share the "new gambling and privacy regulations being talked about in the media"???

[malcolmmm] 09/4/2018 17:00

The market has perhaps priced in new gambling and privacy regulations being talked about in the media which I doubt will effect XLM or TAP for that mater. I don't own TAP shares

[pshevlin] 09/4/2018 16:27

As I said "any excuse"

[igoe104] 09/4/2018 16:05

Or the queen has broke wind ?????

You really get to hear some really poor excusers why a stock or the general market is down .

[pshevlin] 09/4/2018 15:56

Probably because Israelies bombed Syrian airstrip. Any excuse.

[rivaldo] 09/4/2018 15:10

Volumes are extremely low considering today's markdown - looks like the MMs are screwing any sellers for as much as they can get.

[igoe104] 09/4/2018 13:38

Yes, I,m starting to think that way myself. this share price seems to be reacting with the general market momentum and the moment, it could do with some meat on the bones now. ( an acquisition etc)

[pazzuzu] 09/4/2018 13:35

Yep, we wait and wait. Trying not to work myself up at the lack of news flow again.

[pshevlin] 09/4/2018 13:33

I think we could do with a bit of news here.

[malcolmmm] 06/4/2018 14:31

Yes same as yesterday, it seems to me that looking at yesterdays trading pattern that someone whatever was trying to keep the price down

[hatfullofsky] 06/4/2018 14:27

Lots of sells at 171 -173 yet the price holds steady / rises. Very good sign.

Onwards and upwards .... hopefully !!!!

[mount teide] 06/4/2018 11:27

cg8 - yes

FYI - the Euroclear report gives the average stock on loan during each month rather than an end of month snapshot figure - better for monitoring trends imo.

[cg8riverside] 06/4/2018 10:40

Many thanks MountTeide, very useful resource. So to clarify shorttracker.co.uk will only show up for XLM if one single short position is over 0.5%? And the 0.71% of stock on loan shown on the Euroclear report means that the total short position on XLM is currently 0.71% but no single position is over 0.5%? Have i got this right?

[rivaldo] 06/4/2018 09:09

Looking strong here again, especially with so little stock available online. Thanks for the updates MalcolmMM.

[acamas] 06/4/2018 08:54

[malcolmmm] 06/4/2018 08:40

One share available online only for 171.55, must be a bargain

[oneillshaun] 06/4/2018 08:32

£1.72 to buy no chance of a cheeky top up today.

[malcolmmm] 06/4/2018 08:23

[mount teide] 05/4/2018 23:09

cg8 - Shorttacker reports just the notifiable positions (0.5% and over).


Euroclear report - details total stock out on loan:

[cg8riverside] 05/4/2018 19:14

MountTeide where can i find the Euroclear stock on loan report? Shorttracker.co.uk always shows a 0% short position on XLM. Why the discrepancy? Do u know?

[malcolmmm] 05/4/2018 17:08

190p before the end of next week imo and looking at historic chart momvements

[croasdalelfc] 05/4/2018 16:43

127000 @ 1.70

[mount teide] 05/4/2018 13:55

Euroclear's stock on loan report for March published today, showed a small increase in the average short position from 0.63% to 0.71%.

[pazzuzu] 05/4/2018 11:37

I will at 170+ when I make confident this trend has reversed, after these horrible falls I rather like the breathing room of my neutral position
