The amount of money people can place on a single online slots bet will be restricted for the first time as part of a wider government overhaul to tackle gambling addiction.

A £5 per spin limit will apply to all adults aged 25 and over with a £2 per spin limit for 18 to 24-year-olds.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is also set to introduce a statutory levy on gambling companies to help fund addiction treatment.
