UK government mishap forces changes to gambling reform discussions

The UK government said that the gambling sector would be able to offer input on many elements in the months to come after releasing its long-overdue gaming white paper a couple of months ago. Now that it has acknowledged that, together with the UK Gambling Commission, it misrepresented some statistics, it is extending the deadline.

Due to the mistake in reporting, the UK will allow business stakeholders until October 4 to comment on the revisions. It has now been two weeks since the original date.
