UK Gambling Commission sets new penalty framework, with fines up to 15% of GGY
The UK Gambling Commission has announced a revised framework for financial penalties, reportedly due to take effect on 10 October. It introduces five infringement severity levels within a seven-step calculation process, with the starting point tied to gambling gross revenue or equivalent income during the infringement period. The highest-severity cases could attract penalties of up to 15% of GGY, or more in exceptional circumstances.
Operators will face a severity-based penalty calculation, with exceptional cases potentially exceeding 15% of relevant GGY.
