Unpicking the Terms of The UK Gambling Act Review
The SBC Webinars series continues on Friday 11 December with Unpicking the Terms of The UK Gambling Act Review, an in-depth examination of the potential impact of the review on the betting and gaming industry.
This week the UK Government finally announced the start of the long-awaited review into the Gambling Act 2005, a piece of legislation once touted as future proof but now often derided as an analogue Act for the digital age.
In this SBC Webinar, a group of industry experts will debate whether that characterisation is entirely fair and identify some of the areas in which the electric current gambling laws fall small of being fit for purpose.
To fulfill the broad compass of the review, the Department for Culture, Media & Sport is preparing to hear evidence on issues including the role of the Gambling Commission, player protection, advertising regulations, the future of the land-based industry, and the prevention of underage gambling.
The expert panelists will also utilization this webinar to assess which of those areas have the potential to have the biggest repercussions for the gambling industry and its stakeholders?
The panel for the webinar features:
Brigid Simmonds – Chair, Betting and Gaming Council
David Clifton – Director, Clifton Davies
Adam Rivers – Director, KPMG Economics
Andrew McCarron – Managing Director, SBC (moderator)
Register for Unpicking the Terms of The UK Gambling Act Review: Friday 11 December, 12:15pm GMT.
McCarron said: “This review has been expected for some time, but it remains unclear what its consequences mightiness be for the UK gambling industry and the thousands of people who work in it.
