UK gambling set for new oversight as Labour win election

Following Labour's overwhelming victory in the general election, there may be a shift in the direction of the UK gambling industry's white paper.

A later time will mark the confirmation of the new politicians who will oversee gambling policy in the United Kingdom.


The outcome will affect how the UK's white paper on gambling reform, which the Conservatives were advancing in tandem with the Gambling Commission, the country's regulatory body, is shaped going forward.

The government-led proposals, like a statutory levy on operators to fund gambling harm research, education, and prevention, have now been called into question. However, the regulator is continuing its own timeline of consultations, including new land-based proposals this summer.
