UKGC

The UK gambling scene saw huge growth over the last decade as new technologies and faster internet speeds brought gambling into the comfort of homes and mobile devices across the land. For most users, gambling is a harmless distraction and one of many outlets for discretionary income spending, but for others it can be damaging.

Gambling is popular in the UK and across the world. Land-based casinos have existed for several decades and are the predicate for modern online websites. In the UK, gambling activity is under the regulation of the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), which sets various requirements and standards all licensed platforms must comply with to retain their license.
