UK gambling financial vulnerability checks set to begin in August

The implementation of light-touch financial vulnerability checks is scheduled to begin in two phases in August of this year, as confirmed by the UK Gambling Commission.

Customers of online gambling sites with a net monthly deposit of more than £500 will be subject to checks starting on August 30 of this year. However, starting in February of next year, the amount will drop to £150.

Months of debate have surrounded the possible effects of checks, one of the more contentious aspects of the UK's white paper on gambling reform.
