UK gambling regulator targets illegal betting and noncompliant machines with new bingo rules

Britain’s gambling regulator says bingo venues and other land-based operators will face stricter oversight as officials move to remove non-compliant gaming machines more quickly and expand action against illegal betting businesses. Speaking at the Bingo Association’s annual meeting, acting Gambling Commission chief executive Sarah Gardner said the regulator wanted closer cooperation with compliant operators while also increasing enforcement powers across the sector.
