UKGC sets new gaming machine standards for Great Britain
The UK Gambling Commission announced revised gaming machine standards for Great Britain following consultation on proposals linked to the 2023 Gambling Act Review White Paper. The rules require category B machines to provide access to gambling management tools and session information, and prohibit games from celebrating awards below the stake or offering features that shorten the wait for a wager result. Most changes take effect in June 2027; existing machines are exempt.
Operators will need to meet new requirements on machine information and game features, with most changes applying from June 2027.
