Gambling Act white paper<\/a>. However, it previously stated that it wouldn\u2019t wait for the document to begin implementing its own changes.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe overhaul of the UK\u2019s gambling laws follows a thorough review of the 2005 Gambling Act. As part of this, the UKGC and its procedures are under scrutiny as well.<\/p>\n
In 2020, the UKGC had to show that it was capable of effectively managing the gambling ecosystem in the UK. It needed to prove that it has \u201csufficient investigation, enforcement, and sanctioning power to effect change in the industry.\u201d In addition, it had to prove that it was operating effectively and efficiently.<\/p>\n
UK Gambling Has Uncertain Future<\/h2>\n The Gambling Business Group (GBG), a British industry group, noted last week that the government will publish the white paper soon. There have already been delays and it was supposed to arrive before the end of June. However, that will reportedly not happen.<\/p>\n

In March, Nigel Huddleston, the Parliamentary Undersecretary to Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), told parliament that the whitepaper was almost ready. The document will cover a broad range of topics related to the gambling industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The DCMS introduced a request for evidence when it began updating the laws. Among the topics were stake limits, affordability checks, universal deposit limits, and restrictions on advertising and bonus offers. Although the final results are not ready, the UKGC is reportedly ready to introduce those restrictions regardless of the nature of the white paper.<\/p>\n
The DCMS recently published an updated version of its report that includes workforce estimates for last year. The data shows that the UK gambling industry still has not rebounded to its pre-COVID-19 levels. If the country isn\u2019t careful, it may never rebound<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For years, the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has used dedicated account managers for operators.
