UK MPs question Gambling Commission financial risk checks proposal
UK MPs have raised concerns about the Gambling Commission’s proposed Financial Risk Assessments, while the regulator says it has not decided whether to make the checks permanent after the pilot. Labour MP Sally Jameson cited reported data inconsistencies and the risk of intrusive requests; Conservative MP Louie French also argued that conditions in the regulated sector have changed since the proposal was first made.
Operators face uncertainty over whether post-pilot financial checks will become a permanent requirement.
