<p>The government launched its Review of the Gambling Act 2005 on 8 December with
the publication of a Call for Evidence. The Review’s objectives include examining
whether changes are needed to the system of gambling regulation to reflect changes
to the gambling landscape, to make sure customers are suitably protected wherever
they are gambling, and to ensure that there is an equitable approach to the regulation
of the online and the land based industries.</p><p /> <p>The Gambling Commission requires
gambling operators to have effective procedures in place for customers who choose
to self-exclude. More information is available at: <a href="https://gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/LCCP/Licence-conditions-and-codes-of-practice.pdf"

(Section 3.5). In March 2020, the Commission made it mandatory for online operators
to participate in GAMSTOP, the national online self-exclusion scheme, which allows
customers to self-exclude from all licensed online gambling at once.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>The government recognises the value of a responsible industry which
protects players, provides employment and pays taxes. It does not hold information
on the number of people employed in high street betting shops in Shropshire.</p><p>
