Gambling Commission pauses financial risk assessment rollout
The Gambling Commission paused its financial risk assessment scheme and said it would review the evidence before another rollout attempt. Betting and Gaming Council chief executive Grainne Hurst said the pilot had problems with credit-reference data matching, which she said could be as low as 12%, and with operators receiving limited information about customers’ ratings.
Operators await the Commission’s next steps on checks that may require them to request customer documents.
