UK Gambling Commission reports seven AGC licence suspensions over self-exclusion failures
The UK Gambling Commission suspended the operating licences of seven adult gaming centre operators this year for failing to join a self-exclusion scheme, chief executive Andrew Rhodes said at Bacta’s annual convention. Most licences have since been reinstated after corrective steps, but the operators remain under investigation; Rhodes also said proposed technical standards would consolidate 12 existing standards into one.
Operators face continued regulatory scrutiny over self-exclusion compliance, while proposed machine-standard changes could affect their obligations.
