The government’s whitepaper on gambling, set to be published today, is expected to loosen restrictions on physical gambling locations, while tightening up online rules.
The government launched its gambling review in December 2020 but publication of the subsequent white paper has been the subject of repeated delays due to a succession of ministerial changes.
While tougher curbs will be imposed on online gambling, land-based casinos will see regulation loosened, with smaller casinos allowed 80 gambling machines, up from 20.
