Player Protection and Safer Gambling

The UK Gambling Commission imposed more than £20m in fines for social responsibility failures in 2020 and more than £3m already in 2021. These fines show the importance of social responsibility and how player protection and safer gambling have become one of the most pressing regulatory areas for gambling firms in the UK and all major jurisdictions.

Ensuring your employees are adequately trained in responsible gambling is a crucial component of holding a gambling licence. Safer gambling measures are under intense scrutiny as the authorities review the UK Gambling Act 2005. This course is kept up to date to capture those changes when they come into law.
