British to create gaming commission

 

April 11

On Friday, the British government announced it was forming a new commission to standardize gambling, this commission will also over-see the nation's online casino gambling industry.

Late Thursady, The Gambling Bill was passed by Parlament, the bill updates the outdated gaming laws in the UK, and officials feel that in just a few months, a new commission, and a team of nearly 100 investigators, will be named to run the gambling industry.

Online casino gambling, a huge focus for the legislation, has become very popular over the last few years. Online casino gaming companies will be allowed to operate from Britain for the first time.

The new commission won't have the power to regulate the practices of online casinos operating outside Britain, but it possibly might forbid them from advertising in the UK.
