Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Bill

Tuesday, 17 September, 2013

The Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Bill would move the regulation of remote gambling to a ‘point of consumption’ basis so that all remote operators would need a licence from the Gambling Commission to enable them to transact with British customers and advertise in Britain. The Government believes this will increase protection for British customers as well as enabling British-based operators to compete on an equal footing with other remote operators.
