The Gambling Commission has set out the next steps for affordability checks, including a pilot of the enhanced tier of checks being proposed by the government.
The news comes just days before the key debate on the issue in Westminster Hall on Monday in response to the petition calling for the controversial checks to be scrapped.
A full response to the consultation the Gambling Commission ran on affordability checks last year is due to be published by the industry regulator next month. However, in a blog post on the regulator’s website on Thursday, the commission’s executive director Tim Miller gave an update on its approach to the two levels of what it describes as “financial risk checks” included in the government’s gambling white paper last year.
