The Gambling Commission deputy CEO Sarah Gardner warned that the regulator would have little patience for black market risks being “overstated” without evidence.
In a speech to Danish regulator Spillemyndigheden, Gardner shared the Gambling Commission’s view of the state of the gambling sector 17 years on from the 2005 Gambling Act.
Gardner addressed the issue of the illegal sector, arguing that it will continue to evolve and be difficult to eliminate – and therefore called for efforts to disrupt these sites to be “further upstream”.
The Commission has in the past repeated this same argument that the unlawful sector does not represent a major danger to the UK.
