<p>Keeping gambling fair and open and free from crime, and protecting children and
vulnerable people from being harmed or exploited are priorities for the government
and key licensing objectives for the Gambling Commission. The Commission requires
all operators to monitor gambling activity and to intervene where a customer may be
at risk of harm. It has consulted on tightening its rules on customer interaction
for online operators and will publish a response and next steps in the summer.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>The government launched its Review of the Gambling Act 2005 on 8 December
with the publication of a Call for Evidence. As part of the broad scope of the Review,
we called for evidence on the effectiveness of our regulatory system, including protections
for online gamblers and the Gambling Commission's powers and resources. We aim to
publish a white paper by the end of the year.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
