Campaigners and staff have told this programme a system which involves gamblers excluding themselves from betting shops isn't working effectively. 5 Live put the system to the test, with startling results. Callers with experience of problem gambling tell us their stories.

Plus we speak to a great grandmother who is one of only a handful of victims to confront the man who burgled her in court. Mrs Wallace says she "spoke from the heart" when faced with the man. He repeatedly apologised as she outlined the affect of his crimes.
