A new Gambling Commission enforcement framework will introduce percentage-based penalties tied to gross gambling yield (GGY) and a structured seven-step process for enforcement decisions.
The Gambling Commission will implement a major overhaul of its financial penalties regime this October, introducing a clearer process for calculating fines, and tying them more closely to operator revenue.
Under the revised Statement of Principles for Determining Financial Penalties, which comes into effect on 10 October 2025, the Commission will introduce a tiered approach to breaches, based on five levels of seriousness.
These will determine the starting point for fines as a percentage of the Gross Gambling Yield generated during the period in which the breach occurred.
