What can you do with a bookies that lets an under 18 bet and play on the machines?

He has a fake ID that looks nothing like him but has never been questioned.

(imo...he looks about 12)

Report to the Police?
Probably about as much as you can do about a 20 year old guy getting a 14v year old girl pregnant. Police not interested.
Question Author
I was thinking council...not police. It's the council that issues licenses..
I would think you are on the right lines with the Council. Trading Standards might be a good start.
Trading Standards is the body that catches people out for allowing sales to underage people. Whether it be alcohol, tobacco or gambling.

Do I have to identify the exact bookies? There are loads round here!! :-(
Are you intending the disclosure to be anonomous?

write on a letter the dates, times and location of the incidents and any other information you have about it such as name and age of the child and / or name of the assistant that served them and give it to trading standards or council.

Don't bookies have to have cctv or something?
