UK gambling reform faces possible delay during election period
A solicitor specialising in licensing law said the UK election could delay planned gambling reforms, with legislative changes on hold during the campaign. Imogen Moss said some Gambling Commission consultations and published changes were expected to take effect from August, while measures requiring legislation—including a levy, an ombudsman and cashless payments—were paused.
Operators may need to plan around differing timelines for regulatory changes and reforms requiring legislation.
