Abstract

This paper outlines a Tiger Team or Red Team methodology. In this context, this refers to attempts to penetrate age verification mechanisms used by the National Lottery to prevent under-age gambling. The methods used to achieve this are discussed along with a brief examination of related ethical dimensions to such research. The strengths and weaknesses of this form of research are discussed, as well as potential future developments in this field.
