The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has launched a new consultation to secure feedback on “three proposed changes to requirements placed on UK gambling businesses”. Feedback is required on the first proposal to expand “the multi-operator self-exclusion scheme to additional categories of betting licensee”.
The Commission is consulting on whether to apply the GAMSTOP self-exclusion scheme to “all betting licensees, including those that accept bets by telephone and email”.
The extension of GAMSTOP across new betting categories would require the Commission to update the Social Responsibility Code on Remote multi-operator self-exclusion duties.
The second proposal relates to whether licensees should be required to inform the Commission “when they become aware that a customer who has gambled with them has died by suicide”.
