AO1 DCMS - Gambling regulation

The Gambling Act 2005 regulates commercial gambling in Great Britain, including arcades, betting, bingo, casinos, gaming machines, society lotteries and remote gambling operations based in the UK. It has three principle objectives:

• keeping gambling crime free
• making sure that gambling is fair and open
• protecting children and vulnerable adults
