UK Regulatory Environment and Industry Challenges
In a broader regulatory context, the UK Gambling Commission continues to focus closely on the responsibilities of digital platforms. Recently, Tim Miller, the Commission’s executive director, criticized social media companies for their insufficient measures against illegal gambling adverts. Speaking at ICE Barcelona, he urged these platforms to take accountability and act responsibly if they want to sustain a constructive relationship with the licensed gaming sector.
