UK set to raise gambling affordability check thresholds

The affordability check threshold may be raised, according to UK government plans. The government will unveil an interim industry code with higher thresholds later this week, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke with the news outlet about it.

The white paper proposes a contentious measure called affordability checks, which would cause interventions if a gambler went over their budget. Some worry that these steps would jeopardize the sustainability of responsible gambling and possibly drive these players out of the legal market.
 
This type of rules and regulations are pretty much good for the regulation of the industry and this allow the players to have a reality check when they are doing gambling activity on most of the casino services in the market and this will promote transparency in the market as well actually
