The UK Gambling Commission is accepting applications for a new Chair, with the role having been filled on an interim basis for over a year.
Charles Counsell OBE took over interim duties at the start of February 2025 to replace previous Chair Marcus Boyle
For the one year as Interim Chair, Counsell has helped steer the Commission through the still-ongoing implementation of the Gambling Act White Paper Review – coordinating industry discussions with policymakers and actively accommodating stakeholder feedback.
The latest development on that front saw the Commission announce that all non-compliant gaming machines will be removed from land-based venues in July this year.
