The Gambling Commission

The Gambling Commission is a regulatory body in the UK responsible for overseeing commercial gambling activities, including online and land-based casinos, betting shops, and lotteries. Its primary role is to ensure that gambling is conducted fairly and openly, to protect vulnerable individuals, and to prevent criminal activities such as money laundering. The Commission issues licenses to operators, enforces laws, and promotes responsible gambling practices. It aims to ensure that gambling remains a safe and enjoyable activity while balancing the interests of consumers, businesses, and society at large.
