UK Gambling Commission publishes Annual Report

[The Buzz]

The Annual Report, which was published this week, looks back at "performance and progress" by the UKGC over the last financial year and also provides a review of the online gambling market, "setting out proposals to enhance consumer protection."

Highlights include:

• 2017-18 saw a clear focus on change for both the industry and the Commission including the launch of a three-year strategy setting out the road map to make gambling fairer and safer in Britain.
• The year also saw the implementation of a new enforcement strategy which resulted in larger penalty packages for failings to protect consumers. A significant achievement for the regulator over this time was raising awareness of gambling-related harm and making progress in problem gambling being recognised as a public health issue.
• Continued partnership with other key regulators, the Competitions and Markets Authority and the Advertising Standards Authority to tackle misleading advertising and unfair terms and practices.
