UK papers outline three options for Gambling Commission licence fee rises
Government papers that were briefly published and then withdrawn set out three options for increasing UK gambling licence fees, with changes targeted for October 2026. The options include rises of 20% or 30%; the notice replacing the papers said they had been published in error, and a consultation was described as planned through late March.
Any fee increase would add costs for UK gambling licensees alongside other tax changes described in the papers.
