The UK Gambling Commission has underscored its commitment to closely monitoring and evaluating any alterations to gambling regulations within the country.
David Taylor, Head of Evidence and Assessment, emphasized that the regulatory body would adopt a "proportionate approach" to assessing the effectiveness of reforms. He clarified that even after the implementation of reforms, the commission's vigilance would not wane, as it is essential to ensure that the changes yield the desired outcomes.
A spokesperson for the watchdog emphasized the importance of identifying any issues and drawing lessons from them. The assessment process is deemed crucial, although it poses challenges. Some measures will require individual evaluation to ascertain whether they adequately address the needs of consumers and the broader industry.
