However, problems with withdrawing funds from gambling accounts remain the most common topic raised by people contacting the Gambling Commission’s Contact Centre.</p><p>The Commission’s licence conditions and codes of practice contain a number of provisions to ensure operators treat their customers in a fair and open way.
