Conor Grant, chief executive of Flutter UK and Ireland, says the operator will look to stay ahead of the curve with safer gambling, by continuing to ramp up protections across its brands.

In a blog post [Monday], Grant outlined the operator’s progress in increasing customer safeguards, following the UK Gambling Act review’s launch in December 2020.

He said the operator welcomed the review, and had not been “idly tinkering round the edges in the hope that the status quo can be maintained”.

“We have been looking at meaningful ways we can enhance customer protections – not just because it is the right thing to do, but also because it is vital for the sustainability of our industry,” he explained.
