DAVY VIEW

In a further demonstration of a more collaborative and proactive approach, UK gambling operators have agreed a wide-reaching, tangible and accountable set of operating standards. These come on the day that the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) formally launches and just days after the APPG’s damning interim report. In our view, these commitments buy the industry some time and will delay further imposed regulation for now. Whether these can ultimately prevent further imposed regulation will depend on the effectiveness of the industry’s efforts. A successful outcome in this regard is highly positive for the sector’s investment thesis.
