Enforcement & compliance

Greater Manchester Police arrested four people during raids on four Manchester city-centre properties on 21 September, with support from the Gambling Commission and Manchester City Council’s Licensing Team.

The operation involved suspected unlicensed gambling and may affect enforcement risks for operators in Manchester.
