Recognise gambling as a trade and form of income for child maintenance
We call on the Government to recognise gambling as a trade and professional gamblers as self-employed. We would like the earnings made by professional gamblers to be used to calculate how much child support should be paid.

Background
We believe too many single parents are not getting child support payments from parents who are professional gamblers. We would like professional gamblers to be made to declare earnings and pay child support.
