UKGC publish 2018-19 business plan

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) published the first of three business plans this week, outlining its focus and priorities in terms of protecting consumer’s interests, problem gambling, the raising of standards, charity returns, and improvements in regulatory functions.

The first publication, covering the 2018-19 period, forms part of the Commission’s three year strategy in which it says it will be pushing industry to designing-in protections and control measures from the beginning of product development and accelerate the progress that operators are already making on consumer interventions.

William Moyes, Chair of the Gambling Commission, said: “Our ambitious plans for the next 12 months and beyond are designed to enable us to continue to respond to emerging risks and issues in a way that balances consumer choice and enjoyment with the risks associated with gambling, and the impact on wider society.

“Our strategy and plans will deliver real change for consumers, the gambling industry and for us as the regulator. Our aim is to make gambling fairer and safer and to raise standards across the industry.”
