Money Box reporter<br>
<br>The charity Samaritans has actually come in for [criticism](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV34pN7j-J3AJoD4_c_sAVfg_4qZGeTPR) over its relate to the betting business Paddy Power [Betfair](https://wikisofia.cz/wiki/U%C5%BEivatel:LuciePelsaert5).<br>
<br>Staff at the group chose Samaritans as their Charity of the Year.<br>
<br>But critics - including loved ones of people with gambling issues who took their own lives - say it is [risking](https://worldaid.eu.org/discussion/profile.php?id=1117945) its reputation by dealing with the [company](https://git2.ujin.tech/kendallprim84).<br>
<br>Both [organisations](https://wikisofia.cz/wiki/Bet9ja_Promotion_Code:_YOHAIG_-_A_Step-by-Step_Guide_To_The_Bet9ja_League_Free_Bets) state Samaritans' insight and [competence](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV34pN7j-J3AJoD4_c_sAVfg_4qZGeTPR) will help Paddy Power Betfair improve how it helps vulnerable clients.<br>
<br>The collaboration involves activities such as fundraising, business contribution and volunteering.<br>

<br>But John Myers, who lost his [kid Ryan](https://pipewiki.org/wiki/index.php/User:KaleyVillarreal) five years ago when he took his own life aged 27 after becoming addicted to gambling, stated that was not a sufficient factor.<br>
<br>"I'm extremely dissatisfied in the Samaritans.<br>
<br>"They're a charitable organisation so they need to get money from other individuals, wherever they can. But to throw yourself in with the devil I do not think is right.<br>
<br>"This market has actually damaged households and destroyed lives.<br>
<br>"To even think of lying in bed with these people is incorrect and I think they ought to rethink it and stop taking their money."<br>
<br>Carolyn Harris, chairwoman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Gambling Related Harm, informed the BBC she had concerns about the tie-up.<br>
<br>"At best this is horrible and at worst it's appalling," she stated.<br>
<br>"When you see them [Samaritans] [aligning](https://bk-house.synology.me3081/dianahaly8341) themselves to a market with a credibility for being responsible for suicides through addiction to betting - it troubles me.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>"For me it legitimises this company. I have actually fulfilled a lot of individuals who have actually lost liked ones, livelihoods and homes through dependency to gaming.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>"Everything [Samaritans](https://calm-shadow-f1b9.626266613.workers.dev/cfdownload/https://www.kenpoguy.com/phasickombatives/profile.php?id=2985348) does is to [attempt](http://knowledge.thinkingstorm.com/UserProfile/tabid/57/userId/2206638/Default.aspx) to [resolve](https://git.mista.ru/effiecym26974) the issues that all betting business have a function to play in producing.<br>
<br>" [Samaritans] should return to basics and keep doing what's it's been respected for doing for years - its wonderful work."<br>
