3. Legislative Framework

3.1 Key Legislation

The new "Special Measures" procedure is now a permanent feature of the regulatory tool kit of the Gambling Committee, and is used when a serious default is discovered as part of the compliance evaluation, and Licensee is a formal license review. In order to avoid the start, it is necessary to submit and agree to submit an action plan to correct the default.

  • Recent changes
  • New guidance on customer response from remote areas
  • As a result of consultation, the Gambling Commission has updated its remote customer interaction guidance, which will come into force from 31 October 2023. This guidance accompanies Social Responsibility Code 3. 4. 3, which was introduced in part in September 2022 and February 2023, and the customer interaction guidance was postponed pending consultation. Under SRCP 3. 4. 3, licensees must consider the guidance produced to understand and comply with the requirements on remote customer interaction. However, this guidance is complex and ambiguities in its content have raised issues for the European Commission's consultation.
  • Marketing and Advertising
  • In April 2023, the Premier League announced a voluntary decision to prohibit Premier League clubs from wearing gambling sponsorship on the front of their football shirts. This voluntary ban is due to come into force after the end of the 2025-2026 season.
  • In July 2023, the government responded to the Online Advertising Consultation Programme, which was established in March 2022 to establish a framework to protect consumers from harmful paid online advertising. The government plans to introduce a new legal framework to combat illegal advertising and better protect children and young people. First, a ministry-led working group will be established to advance non-legal responses, including strengthening the evidence base, while further consultations will shape and define the content of the legislation. This response will also affect gambling advertisers, including marketing affiliates, as well as the publishers and platforms they work with.
  • Delegitimization of Revenues

In June 2023, the Gaming Commission revised its AML casino guidance to explicitly address "proliferation finance," which refers to the act of financing the illegal manufacture, supply, or use of chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons, goods, or technology. Casino operators must now take such risks into account in their policies and procedures, as well as in their money laundering risk assessments.

  • Changes to the LCCP
  • In October 2023, the Gambling Commission published its response to the consultation on proposed changes to the LCCP. The Gambling Commission confirmed that it would make the following changes to the LCCP:
  • The multifunctional sel f-exclusion system (GAMSTOP) is expanded to all gambling businesses by gambling by e-mail or telephone. SRCP3. 5. 5 has added the necessary changes and will come into effect on April 1, 2024.
  • Licensee must notify the Gambling Committee if you know that a gambling player has died in suicide or if there is a reasonable reason to doubt it. The required changes will be made on 2/15/2/2/2/2/2/2/201, and will be valid from April 1, 2024.
  • Licensing conditions 5. 1. 2 will be updated, and the provision of the pay service will reflect both the current and future laws. This change comes into effect on January 31, 2024.

  • Companies that merely provide advertising and branding services to gaming operators do not require a license to operate, and therefore affiliates are not regulated by the Gaming Commission.

This positive obligation on licensees was reaffirmed in the White Paper, and on 15 June 2023, Sarah Gardner, the current Deputy Chief Executive of the Gambling Commission, reaffirmed the obligation on licensees, stating that "many operators" will need to "check whether adequate oversight of affiliates is in place".

The responsible gambling is now called a "safer gambling" by the Gambling Committee, one of the biggest focus of the Gambling Committee on licensing, compliance and execution. The director and requirements are diverse, so it cannot be summarized in this chapter. This emphasis comes from the third license purpose (protecting children and other vulnerable from gambling and exploitation) is appropriate for those who are in danger or may have experienced harm. It is to identify and involve it, and the terms of use are clear, fair and simple for consumers, and guarantee not targeting the weak or selfish customers.

Statement of Principles on Determining Penalties

Breaches of the 2005 Act, including the LCCP (issued under the 2005 Act), are criminally liable. In August 2017, the Gambling Commission published a "new vision" for enforcement, emphasizing putting consumers first.

The licensee has been open and transparent in its dealings with the Gambling Commission.

Harris Hagan LLP is the only London law firm providing legal services to all sectors of the gaming and leisure industry in the UK and internationally. The firm was founded in 2004 by Julian Harris and John Hagan and is driven by the long-term sustainability and success of our beloved industry. Our practice includes gaming law, compliance and regulation, advising many of the world's largest global and online gaming businesses (B2C and B2B) as well as many start-ups, investors and leading law firms.

The licensee is willing to contribute directly to the Gambling Commission's costs in investigating the matter for which a regulatory settlement is sought.

The licensee is willing to make payments in lieu of any financial penalties that the Gaming Commission may impose for breaches of license status.

Regulatory settlements and license revisions are detailed in a number of public resolutions and public statements published on the Gaming Commission's website and usually include financial penalties. In March 2023, a £19. 2 million penalty package was issued against William Hill Group. Recent fines imposed by the Gambling Commission include a £3. 25 million penalty against Bros (Tash Betting) (Trading As Betfred) Limited in July 2023 and a £1. 25 million penalty against VideoSlots Limited in June 2023. Both fines were imposed as a result of a number of breaches of social responsibility and anti-money laundering.

Fineals imposed by the Gambling Commission generally have two components:

An amount reflecting the removal of consumer harm and/or economic benefit suffered by the licensee as a result of the breach or default.

An amount reflecting the seriousness of the breach or default, its impact on the licensing objectives and the need for deterrence.

The Gambling Commission will consider all the material circumstances of the case, such as:

The seriousness and duration of the breach

Whether it is a first offence.

The level of economic interest due to infringement, and

The degree of measures taken to correct the infringement.

The Gambling Committee may discount the fine if the operator is transparent and cooperative.

Reform of the supervision system for the use of terrorism and financing (CTF).

In July 2023, the Ministry of Finance announced a consultation on the reform of the AML and CTF supervision systems, calling for the opinions of stakeholders on four possible models to improve the current British system. The Gambling Committee is a legal regulatory organization in the casino industry. Three of the proposed models have little effect on the AML/CTF regulations of the Gambling Committee, but the fourth model proposes a singl e-money laundering prevention supervisor (SAS). If this is implemented, the Gambling Committee will abandon the supervision obligation.

Considering the relationship between AML/CTF and more secure gambling, there was a confusion in the gambling committee approach to the AML/CTF. The SAS model will definitely introduce some consistency in the UK casino director AML/CTF. However, the appointed SAS is undoubtedly a lower industry specialty than the Gambling Committee, and there is a possibility that the Gambling Committee has a double regulation on Licensei.
