The United Kingdom’s gaming sector is increasing its endeavors to safeguard young individuals. Effective December 1st, updated regulations will mandate that wagering firms incorporate responsible gaming notices in one-fifth of their promotional materials. This encompasses all significant mediums such as television, radio, and digital platforms. Furthermore, the lowest targeted age demographic for internet gambling advertisements will be elevated to 25. The objective is to guarantee that advertising connects with a more age-suitable viewership. These modifications are a component of a broader strategy by the Betting and Gaming Council to advocate for responsible gaming and mitigate the associated hazards. The BGC stresses that the protection of youth is a paramount concern for the sector.
It is our duty to guarantee that our patrons utilize responsible gaming features, such as establishing budgetary constraints and incorporating pauses. Equally crucial is the need to link individuals who may be encountering difficulties with easily accessible assistance and resources.
The revised IGRG Gambling Code of Conduct illustrates our continuous dedication to elevating benchmarks and ensuring they are unsurpassed.
Previously today, the Gambling Commission and Betting and Gaming Council revoked the UK operational permit of In Touch Games, a UK-situated online gaming provider.”
