BGC cites £4.3bn annual illegal gambling estimate in UK policy call
The Betting and Gaming Council called for changes to regulation and taxation in Great Britain, citing a report that estimates 1.5 million people wager almost £4.3bn a year through illegal gambling. The report estimates £2.7bn is wagered online and up to £1.6bn in person; the BGC commissioned the study from Frontier Economics.
The cited illegal-gambling estimates underpin the BGC’s case for changes to British regulation and taxation.
