Gambling Commission introduces financial risk assessments in stages
The Gambling Commission is introducing Financial Risk Assessments in stages, beginning with larger operators and very high spending over short periods. Full implementation will cover customers aged 25 and over depositing more than £1,000 in 24 hours or £3,000 in 90 days, with lower thresholds for younger customers; the BGC said concerns about reliability and consumer impact remain unresolved.
Operators will need to apply new deposit thresholds and financial-risk checks as the staged controls take effect.
