The Gambling Commission has broad and flexible powers to set licence conditions and take action where there is evidence of harm, including the power to suspend or revoke a licence, impose financial penalties or prosecute criminal offences.
The Government has committed to review the Gambling Act 2005 to make sure it is fit for the digital age. We will announce further details in due course.
