The Gambling Commission has announced plans for stricter regulation of non-compliant gaming machines and intends to intensify enforcement against illegal land-based gambling activities.
Speaking at the Bingo Association’s annual general meeting on 7 May, acting chief executive Sarah Gardner outlined the regulator’s approach, which balances partnership with operators alongside a firm stance on compliance and enforcement.
Gardner emphasized that working cooperatively with the bingo sector has already yielded tangible benefits. This included resolving discrepancies in national gambling statistics.
“We know what we can achieve through our powers, but we know that we can achieve a whole lot more for our objectives by working with those in industry who are willing to work with us,” Gardner told attendees.
