UK Gambling Commission confirms staged financial risk assessments for operators
The UK Gambling Commission said it will introduce financial risk assessments in stages, beginning this summer with the country’s largest operators. The checks target high-spending customers experiencing gambling-related financial difficulties, and the Commission said 97% of people spending above the thresholds could be assessed without friction. It said operators that do not implement the checks will face no enforcement action.
Operators must prepare for staged checks while the Commission says non-compliance will not trigger enforcement action.
