The Gambling Commission has clarified certain rules on operator requirements around safer gambling tools such as deposit limits.
Although UK-licensed operators are already required to offer several safer gambling tools to their customers, the regulator has amended its rules “to provide further consistency and clarity for customers when setting financial limits”.
The changes focus primarily on how financial limits are defined and communicated to customers.
The primary change is that from 30 June 2026, all online operators must offer customers the opportunity to set a “deposit limit”, based solely on the amount a customer pays into their account over a set duration.
