The UK Gambling Commission is inviting industry stakeholders to highlight rules and requirements they believe could be simplified without weakening consumer protections.

From [26 June], the regulator is inviting evidence on which existing requirements could be streamlined or removed. The process will run through to 25 September, after which the Commission will consider feedback before issuing a response.

The process will work rather differently to standard, Commission-led consultations. It will be up to respondents to suggest areas for improvement, rather than comment on proposals from the regulator. Respondents must support any proposals with evidence of the burden they currently create.

The Commission said the process will cover all aspects of its regulatory framework.
