UK Gambling Commission

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing gambling activities in Great Britain, ensuring they are conducted fairly, safely, and in compliance with the law. Established under the Gambling Act 2005, the UKGC licenses and monitors operators, including online and land-based casinos, betting shops, and lotteries, to protect consumers, prevent gambling-related harm, and combat illegal activities. It enforces strict standards on responsible gambling, anti-money laundering, and player safety, while also promoting transparency and integrity in the industry. The Commission has the authority to issue fines, revoke licenses, and pursue legal action against non-compliant operators, making it a pivotal force in maintaining a secure and ethical gambling environment.
