Regulation changes cuts charity funds
A non-profit service providing help to local gambling addicts says doubt has been cast on its short term future.
GamCare Isle of Man - a part of Motiv8 Addiction Services - was formerly funded by means of a tax on local gaming operators.
But changes in the regulations now mean that money is passed directly to the UK's Gambling Commission - and charities back at home don't see a penny.
The service, which launched in 2011, has since secured independent funding for a further year.
But Motiv8 services director Thea Ozenturk says there's uncertainty beyond that:
Sliding scale pay awards 'may be on the table' in future, says PSC Chair
'Opportunities possible' around US tariffs situation
Quarterbridge Road to shut overnight for patching works
New equipment will help patients during cardiac arrest
Review of parking permits underway, says minister
