I would say it is already too late for the UK gambling market to fully undo the situation created by the UKGC’s increasingly restrictive approach. The industry has been pushed so far in one direction that going back now would be extremely difficult.

But I’m not convinced there is any real intention to go back. To me, this looks like part of a much wider trend that goes far beyond gambling. Governments are becoming increasingly comfortable with introducing more controls, collecting more information, and gradually reducing people’s privacy in the name of protection and regulation.

The worrying part is that these changes usually happen little by little, so most people do not notice how much has changed until the restrictions have already become normal. By the time the wider public starts questioning where the line should have been drawn, it may be very difficult to reverse it!

Thanks for the great news!

P.S. I still wonder if the chicken won in the end.
