answer text <p>The Gambling Commission does not determine whether gambling activities are legal in other jurisdictions. To do so would involve directing resources to apply and interpret the laws and legislation of different jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of the relevant authorities in those jurisdictions to make such a determination and take any necessary action.</p><p> </p><p>However, all licensees of the Gambling Commission are subject to reporting requirements associated with their activities in other jurisdictions, including reporting where they are subject to any legal or regulatory investigation. Operators are expected to comply with the law, both in the UK and in other jurisdictions in which they, or related companies, operate. Failure to meet this expectation may raise questions about operators’ continuing suitability as licence holders.</p><p> </p><p>The Gambling Commission does work in close cooperation with regulators in a wide range of jurisdictions and will share regulatory information where this is appropriate and legally permissible.</p><p> </p>
