Gambling Policy Commission reviews UK gambling laws and opens evidence call
The Gambling Policy Commission has opened a review of UK gambling legislation and invited evidence on whether the Gambling Act 2005 remains suitable. It will examine newer products and technologies, taxation, illegal gambling, gambling harms and the effects of the 2023 reforms. Submissions close on 12 February 2027, and the commission expects to publish its final report in 2028.
The review could inform whether the UK updates or replaces its gambling legislation.
