Gambling White Paper: Industry Affiliates React
Last Thursday saw the much-anticipated Gambling White Paper announced in Parliament, which consolidated the findings of a lengthy gambling law review.What was covered? The Department of Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) intends to implement a maximum bet per spin for slot machines and will consult on a range between £2 and £15 per spin. Players who lose £1,000 within 24 hours or £2,000 within 90 days will be subject to extensive affordability tests. Meanwhile, operators will be required to conduct "passive" inspections on players whose monthly net losses exceed £125, or £500 annually.
