The UKGC oversees gaming laws in the UK, ensuring fair play and responsible gambling. Stay informed with the United Kingdom Gambling Commission.
United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) was formed in 2007 and covers arcades, bingo, betting, slot sites, casinos, and lotteries. Online betting in the UK is governed by the UKGC as well.
Free prize draws and competitions are free from its influence as stated in the Gambling Act of 2005.
Its goals are to keep gambling free of crime and to protect vulnerable players. The UKGC is also responsible for issuing licenses to interested parties. Illegal gambling is one of its activities, with the watchdog closely collaborating with the UK police on such interests.
UKGC is a replacement for the Gaming Great Board of Great Britain, which was dissolved in 2007. In 2013, the UKGC also gained responsibilities for the National Lottery.
Established under the Gambling Act of 2005, the UKGC gained full power two years later. Apart from its regular duties, it is responsible for remote gambling in the UK. By remote gambling, it oversees online gambling as well as telephone betting and other communication devices using their equipment for taking bets.
