The National Anti-Gambling League (NAGL) was a British campaigning organization founded in 1890 by F. A. Atkins. The aims of the NAGL were laid out in its journal, the Bulletin of the National Anti-Gambling League:
Gambling was made illegal and forced to relocate to safe havens such as New Orleans or on riverboats where the captain was the only law in force. Anti-gambling movements shut down the lotteries. As railroads replaced riverboat travel, other venues were closed. The Alliance for Gambling Reform is a collaboration of organisations with a shared concern about the deeply harmful and unfair impacts of gambling and its normalisation in Australian culture. We campaign for reforms of the gambling industry that reduce the harm it causes. Anti gambling Latest Breaking News, Pictures, Videos, and Special Reports from The Economic Times. Anti gambling Blogs, Comments and Archive News on Economictimes.com.
Nothing less than the reformation of England as regards the particular vice against which our efforts are aimed... There is humiliation in the thought that the chosen Anglo Saxon race, foremost in the civilisation and government of the world, is first also in the great sin of Gambling.[1]
NAGL Members included John Hawke, J. A. Hobson, Ramsay MacDonald and Seebohm Rowntree.[2]
