UK Gambling Commission adopts seven-step system for financial penalties
The UK Gambling Commission said a seven-step system for calculating financial penalties will take effect on 10 October 2025. It will use a five-level breach-severity scale and generally base fines on gross gambling yield during the breach period, with the penalty component exceeding 15% of that measure in the most serious cases.
Operators will need to assess potential penalties against breach-period gross gambling yield and the new severity and adjustment factors.
