Regulating gambling in the United Kingdom involves key organizations working together to ensure fairness, transparency, and responsible gaming. The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) is the main authority overseeing and licensing gambling operators. They set and enforce standards to promote integrity, fairness, and responsible conduct in the industry.
In Northern Ireland, the Gambling Commission for Northern Ireland operates independently but closely collaborates with the UKGC. This collaboration ensures consistent regulatory standards, aligning gambling practices with legal and ethical guidelines across the entire UK.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) regulates gambling advertisements, making sure they follow codes of practice to prevent misinformation and the promotion of irresponsible behavior. On the support side, the non-profit organization GamCare provides assistance and resources for individuals affected by problem gambling, contributing to harm reduction through education and support.
