Activist, campaigner and co-founder of Gamban app Matt Zarb-Cousin comes on the show to talk about how online culture has become consumed by the gambling industry, and the ways it affects our online and offline experiences. 

Matt tells us about how the gambling industry has expanded on the internet as a way of avoiding further regulations, and the new 'games' the industry has built to keep people addicted for longer periods of time. Matt also explains how the techniques and strategies employed by the gambling industry are being adopted by social media companies, game developers, dating apps and the reasons why government agencies are struggling to keep up with them.
