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:
