Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014
legislation.gov.uk에서 보기요약
This Act reformed the regulation of remote (online) gambling by requiring all operators providing gambling services to consumers in Great Britain to hold a licence from the Gambling Commission, regardless of where the operator is based. It closed the loophole that had allowed overseas-based operators to serve British consumers without a UK licence, bringing them under full Gambling Commission regulatory oversight.
