"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.
+
"This market has actually damaged households and destroyed lives.
+
"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."
+
Carolyn Harris, chairwoman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Gambling Related Harm, informed the BBC she had concerns about the tie-up.
+
"At best this is horrible and at worst it's appalling," she stated.
+
"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.
