<p>The Gambling Act 2005 created an independent regulator, the Gambling Commission,
which has a duty to ensure gambling is consistent with the licensing objectives; keeping
gambling free of crime, ensuring it is fair and open, and protecting children and
vulnerable people from harm or exploitation.</p><p> </p><p>The Commission regularly
reviews its regulatory requirements to take account of developments in technology
and in the market, and in response to emerging risks and issues. While welcoming innovation,
it applies the precautionary principle to new products, or to innovation in other
areas, when there is good reason to believe they might cause harm disproportionate
to any benefits they might bring.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
