I believe that this is where this legislation gets the balance right. We've focused on those inducements that would have an impact on those people who are most at risk. For many people who enjoy having a bet on the weekend as part of their social life, receiving a bonus bet is something that they enjoy and it doesn't cause them any harm. That's why we think we've got the balance right as part of this legislation.
