UK remote gaming duty rise forces operators to review B2B supplier contracts
Regulation · SectorWire deskSource published
Summary
UK operators are reassessing B2B gaming supplier contracts after Remote Gaming Duty doubled from 21% to 40% in April. The increase, announced in the 2025 autumn budget, has prompted two operators to withdraw and larger groups to report projected additional costs running into nine figures. Suppliers now face tougher procurement questions over measurable commercial value.
Why it matters
Suppliers must tie product pitches to measurable operator outcomes as tighter margins make innovation-only propositions harder to fund.
