UK Gambling Commission CEO highlights progress against black-market operators

The CEO recently gave a speech outlining the notable progress the UK Gambling Commission has made in shutting down illicit online gambling operations. Over 22.5 million adults participate in an industry valued at over £15 billion, which is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. The gambling industry continues to struggle to strike a balance between public safety and individual liberties, despite its economic importance.

With effect from August 2024, the UK Gambling Commission will raise the age-check threshold from 21 to 25 years old as part of its continued commitment to enhancing age verification for land-based gambling.
