UKGC Publishes 2020/21 Business Plan

The UK Gambling Commission has released its Business Plan for 2020/21. The business plan states key priorities including the ongoing commitment to reduce gambling harm and the works to maintain gambling safer, particularly online.
Neil McArthur, Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission said:
“We begin a new financial year in extraordinary circumstances, the COVID-19 virus will bring significant challenges for us all, including the gambling industry. With social distancing measures in place people are more likely to feel isolated and now more than ever operators must ensure that consumer safety is paramount.
“Gambling related harm must be drastically reduced and if operators cannot protect customers from harm we are ready and willing to act; if necessary we will use our powers to suspend and revoke operating and personal licences.
“Since our review of online gambling in 2018 we have tightened age and ID verification rules, strengthened rules around customer interaction, and unfair terms and conditions and most recently we banned gambling on credit cards. This year we will continue to deliver our recommendations by addressing VIP incentives and making online advertising and online gambling products safer.
“The volume and complexity of our work continues to grow. However, we will continue to focus our resources on the areas that have maximum impact for the greatest number of consumers and will make sure we have the capacity and capability to keep pace with emerging issues and risks that regulating a complex industry requires.”
In 2020/21, UKGC will launch an “Experts by Experience Board” to ensure that the voice of consumers, particularly those who have experienced harm, fully informs decisions right at the heart of the Commission.
