IAGA Summit Berlin: June 10-12, 2025
Tis is something we're actively exploring at the moment. Of course, we want to deter players from illegal sites but we have to be aware of the consequences of making people who might not be aware of these illegal sites that they exist. So, our communication and research teams are working closely together to explore the opportunities in this space.
As a global leader in gambling regulation enforcement, how is the Gambling Commission stepping up its collaboration with other jurisdictions, particularly those that are less mature?
We are working closely with other regulators across the world. We created - through the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) - the Illegal Gambling Working Group which brings together jurisdictions from across the world. We recognise that there is a need to take a global approach to tackle illegal gambling.
We’re proud to be taking the lead with this work and we will continue to work closely with others. We’re actively sharing contacts internationally which is making it easier for other jurisdictions to, for example, contact Google and set up their own disruption practices.
We have a joined-up approach and use the same technology as other jurisdictions involved in this work, which in the future could mean that we can work together targeting websites that are not necessarily just targeting GB consumers, but others in Europe too.
We’ve also worked with more emerging jurisdictions in the creation of their regulatory regime, most notably recent support for the new Irish regulator.
What are the major obstacles that transitioning jurisdictions face when moving from unregulated to regulated gambling markets?
It’s not really for us to comment on obstacles that other jurisdictions may face as it will depend on their market. However, a key tool for those transitioning would be to speak with other jurisdictions that are in the regulated space.

What local factors shape the creation and continued development of consumer protection standards?
For us we have our License Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) which if we need to, we can change.
We are currently implementing changes set out in the previous Government’s White Paper. For example, from December new rules increasing the safety and simplicity of consumer promotional offers will be introduced.
Gambling businesses will not be able to offer potentially harmful offers involving consumers having to carry out two or more types of gambling, such as betting and playing slots. Operators will also be limited on the number of times bonus funds must be re-staked before the consumer can withdraw winnings from the bonus.
Which global forums or industry events have proven most valuable for tapping new enforcement methodologies?
We continue to be heavily involved with the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR), which remains one of the most valuable global forums for sharing intelligence and exploring new enforcement methodologies through international collaboration.
In addition to IAGR, attendance at key industry conferences and intelligence events nationally and internationally provides critical opportunities to engage with partner agencies, learn about emerging enforcement techniques, and exchange best practices.
We are willing to invite technology partners to our Operator Engagement Forum to raise industry awareness of innovative compliance technologies and enforcement tools; to date, we have hosted one such company.
As more intelligence and best practices become available, we are happy to be part of the ongoing conversation and collaboration to continually enhance enforcement methodologies.
