UK Gambling Commission Launches Public Awareness Campaign on Gambling Controls, Rights and Safeguards

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has launched its latest public campaign promoting “9 ways to keep yourself safe when gambling.”
The campaign focuses on raising public awareness of safer gambling control tools, facilities and support groups such as GambleAware and GamCare. Also, the UKGC seeks to provide better all-round guidance on how consumers can monitor their activity with licensed incumbents – “maintaining consumer spend at a manageable level.”
Raising public awareness, the UKGC reminds audiences to undertake “reality checks” as to why they are gambling – “to escape debt or as a way to make quick money? Think carefully about your motivations to gamble.”
The UKGC also reminds audiences of their rights to ask for a “timeout from gambling” for a set period of up to six weeks.
Vulnerable consumers are reminded that all licensed operators must offer access to the GAMSTOP self-exclusion scheme, which enforces a “longer break from gambling” for a minimum period of six months.
The campaign sees the UKGC continue to expand its initiatives on raising public awareness of consumer rights and responsibilities when gambling.
