James Noyes leaves UK Gambling Act Review advisory group over affordability checks
Dr James Noyes has left the Gambling Act Review Evaluation Advisory Group in protest over the government’s approach to affordability checks, a media report said. Noyes had criticised the evaluation of the checks, citing concerns about inconsistent pilot data, unclear outcomes and unnecessary friction, while saying he still supported their use if properly assessed and implemented.
His departure raises questions about the advisory group’s scrutiny of proposed customer financial-risk checks.
