Speaking at an industry event, UKGC's Andrew Rhodes emphasized that any operator or supplier caught violating regulations could face immediate suspension, cutting off their services instantly. He urged businesses to assess their third-party risks carefully. The UKGC is also investing in efforts to combat illegal football gambling and working with European regulators to target suppliers and payment providers enabling unlicensed activity. Rhodes questioned why any licensed business would associate with companies that fuel illegal competition, suggesting the issue may not be as widespread as some claim.
Meanwhile, Betting and Gaming Council chief executive Grainne Hurst reaffirmed the industry’s commitment to avoiding ties with illegal gambling. Rhodes also warned that regulatory changes, including the introduction of the Statutory Levy and an Ombudsman, are coming soon, cautioning against overly rigid industry positions that could overshadow core issues.
 
So, what’s the deal with this UKGC crackdown? Sounds like they’re really serious about this. Wonder how it’ll affect smaller operators. 🤔
