Are the Government and the Gambling Commission really singing from the same hymn sheet when it comes to affordability? I think there's a subtle, but important, difference in the way they are both speaking about the importance of incoming affordability checks being 'frictionless'. The Government still seems to be clear that checks will not be implemented until they are 'genuinely frictionless', whilst the Gambling Commission's rhetoric has shifted every so slightly to state that they must be 'frictionless for the vast majority of customers who undergo them' - same, same but....different? I'm looking forward to hearing more about the pilot scheme, but perhaps the Gambling Commission has realised that a truly frictionless solution might be truly fiction? Stuart Andrew at the BGC AGM event yesterday - "I have been clear that these checks should be genuinely frictionless - one of my first discussions with officials on taking on the gambling brief was around how we would deliver this - and the White Paper was clear that they will not be implemented until we can guarantee that they are." Tim Miller in his recent blog post - "We have been working closely with the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to ensure that the next steps closely reflect the intention of the White Paper. That is, that the process of conducting these checks will be frictionless for the vast majority of customers who undergo them." #Gamblingnews #gamblingindustry #twobirds

FRCs. That’s the acronym we will all be using soon. Andrew Rhodes spoke in the Consumer Protection Zone at #ICE2024 last week saying the next steps for the #FinancialRiskChecks will be published in the coming weeks. He’s promising a ‘sensible approach such as phased implementation and use of pilots’ which hopefully should be positive news for #operators and #consumers alike, who are keen to ensure the checks are effective yet proportionate.

Yesterday, the Gambling Commission 👨⚖️ in the UK released proposals aimed at better identification of acutely financially vulnerable online customers. This will require operators to provide light touch financial vulnerability checks for those customers with a net deposit of more than 💷 £150 a month on gambling. Initially this amount will be £500 from August 2024. 🎰 To my Gaming/Gambling contacts – how will you prepare for these new rules?
