DCMS outlines UK Illegal Gambling Taskforce remit and possible future powers
The UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport outlined the Illegal Gambling Taskforce’s remit, covering payment disruption, offshore online marketing and cross-agency enforcement against illegal gambling. The taskforce and its sub-groups cannot currently direct or intervene in the Gambling Commission’s work, although the DCMS said this could change if members agree; the remit runs for 12 months before a renewal decision.
The remit sets the taskforce’s current limits and leaves open a possible future change to its role in enforcement.
