Funding Gambling Addiction

A Scottish online casinos poker gambling addict is now sought for questioning in an investigation into monies missing from the poker player’s place of employment. A telecommunications company discovered that one of the company’s employees was using company money to fund a high-stakes poker gambling habit. This incident comes at a time when the global online casino industry, internet poker gambling industry, and nations that allow internet gambling are all looking into not only the effects of gambling addictions, but a growing related disorder – Internet addiction.

Internet addiction is not localized to just online casinos gamblers and others in related fields, but rather those addicted to using the Internet and willing to forego personal and business relationships. This growing trend, along with gambling addiction is causing concern. As for the current incident though, friends and relatives of Chris Proudfoot had no idea that the young credit controller worker was even involved in any land and online casinos poker activities. Says a friend of Proudfoot, "It's a shock to think that Chris has been gambling away his employers' money. We never had him down as a gambling addict. He doesn't go to the bookies in town and we've never known him to bet on anything."

And as for the company alleging that Chris has stolen as much as £1 million, HIGHnet is a telecommunications company based out of Inverness, Scotland. A company spokesperson noted that "We made a complaint to the police against Mr Proudfoot. We are co-operating with the police and Mr Proudfoot no longer works for the company. We cannot comment further as this is an ongoing investigation. There isn't a final figure." Proudfoot has not worked for the company for more than six weeks at this point and the investigation is on-going.
