Seriously, do you really think everything the poker lady says will be reflected objectively in the article? Of course not. The writer adds some figures, changes a few statements etc and, well, this is how journalism works. I've worked on a newspaper, and when I quit, I knew that when I read an interview (or an article) a maximum of 50% is totally accurate.

"The writer adds some figures, changes a few statements etc and, well, this is how journalism works"

The article is written by John Kay who is one of Britain's most respected news men and firmly of the "Old school". I can tell you he would most certainly not alter direct quotes or change figures.

As someone more than averagely familiar with British newspapers and journalists and I can also tell you what you imply is not at all how journalism works.

I asked them why they had spoiled such a fantastic advert with such an inane comment, and asked why on earth would they not want 10,000 poker whizkids playing at their site if they could get them.

Here's their reply:

"Thank you for your e-mail.

The reason for not wanting 10,000 poker whizz kids is down to very strict legislation regarding underage gambling which we fully support.

If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Kind regards,
