The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCSM) published its gambling white paper back in April 2023 which included proposals for modernising regulation of the land-based sector.
Between 26th July 2023 and the 4th October 2023 a public consultation was completed regarding key proposals for the sector and 87 responses were received from a range of stake holders including the industry itself, researchers and members of the public.
Today (16th May 2024), the Government published its conclusions and proposals that will impact the sector throughout Great Britain:
To give effect to the changes, 6 statutory instruments (regulations) will be laid before Parliament and we understand that DCMS currently aims to implement all changes except those related to cashless payments (iii above) later this year, although exact timing remains subject to Parliamentary timescales. Due to the ongoing evaluation of player protection measures that may be introduced by the Gambling Commission through its machine technical standards, cashless payments will be introduced following a further Gambling Commission consultation.
