Gambling Commission calls for coordinated action against illegal casinos

Regulation

The Gambling Commission called for agencies to work together against illegal gambling in the UK, following a coroner’s inquest into Oliver Long’s death. The coroner’s report did not identify gambling as a determining factor; Long’s sister said illegal sites had targeted him after he self-excluded from licensed operators. Commission executive director Tim Miller told the court that illegal sites target people experiencing harm.
