UK Gambling Commission: Role and Powers
The UK Gambling Commission regulates all commercial gambling in Great Britain. It issues licences to operators, enforces rules, and can revoke licences or impose fines for breaches.
Key responsibilities include ensuring gambling is fair, protecting children and vulnerable people, and keeping crime out of gambling. The UKGC does not rate or recommend operators; it sets and enforces standards.
Players can complain to the UKGC if an operator fails to resolve a dispute. The Commission's decisions are binding on licensed operators.
