In 2020, gambling operators were fined 45 million pounds

In this comment, Andy Woods evaluates some important configurations that affect all England's gambling operators, which was introduced a while ago by the Gambling Committee, and is described in the Snow White Book. Verify the DCM conclusions of relatively major services.

A) May 16, 2024

On May 16, 2024, DCMS announced its own conclusions on several services that affect the ground operator.

Casino, which was converted in cooperation with the law of 1968, increases the continuous number of slot machines in proportion to their volume when they begin to respond to casinos in accordance with the 2005 law. Is no t-GA S-area, which increases the maximum number of category B slides from 20 to 80.
This is sold only at a casino made in accordance with the 1968 law and a small casino for small casinos and the maximum compliance for small casinos, which were made in accordance with the 2005 law.
The permission of all casinos to all rooms will be a bookmaker that was previously restricted by casinos under the law of 2005.
The adult gaming center and the Binghole are required to have a 2: 1 correspondence if the category B, category C and D of slot machines are equal to the same number.
Directly prohibiting direct payments from debit cards on slot machines is eliminated on the proper game defense measures.
Introducing the age limit of 18 in the slot machine in the lo w-bet category D.
Space} In addition to facility licenses in the UK and Wales, the current board limit that licensed authorities may pay a 15 % limit is set.

In most cases, DCMS will perform all configurations through parliament, except for those who actually pay other than cash this year.

(B) June 3, 2024

In the summer of 2023, the Gambling Committee had a PML license as part of the substantial consultation, as well as all roles related to AML and terrorism, as well as the chairman and the highest executive officer. It has announced that it will connect applications for everyone. This will come into effect on November 29, 2024, but there is a possibility that the discussion on orders will be borrowed a certain number of months.

From July 1, 2024, LCCP will be LCCP that requires all licensing 28 days after the quarterly period of regulatory statements; more detailed information is the Gambling Committee. It is available on the website. The Gambling Committee has been changed in real time on June 30, 2024, so that all regulatory statements are completed, so that this transition can be made for all businesses for this purpose. The completion of June 30, 2015, for example, the new report phase will begin on June 1, 2024. Enter the "Electronic Description-Operator" system to make sure the statement is submitted.

D) Notes on other configurations announced in early May

Economic vulnerability tests will be conducted at £ 500 from August 30, 2024 and £ 150 from February 28, 2025.
Trial evaluation of no n-restricted cash risk
Space} Design of distance games to reduce speed and strength
Updated Direct Marketing S variet y-From January 17, 202 5-For more detailed adjustments for selecting (gambling type and specific product) (only distance games that do not include lottery)
Space} From August 30, 2024, the age range of inefignific games will be strictly increased (uniform test acquisition, 2 5-yea r-old recommended).
PM L-Expands the ability of the holder (such as people on board, people who like AML/POCA).
No composition proposals in the regulatory group are not accepted! 2023 Summer Advisor y-Proposed configuration in LCCP and RTS: Answer to Advisor y-C V-Advisory (GamblingCommission. Gov. UK)

Immediately enforcing the above two configurations emphasizes the importance of all operators recognizing the notification of the gambling committee. There is no doubt that the committee has a PML examining whether the PML has the people who hold the important positions shown in the above link, and of course, the significance of the current submission of the appropriate regulatory statement is easily exaggerated. I can't. Of course, the significance of submitting the current appropriate regulation manual is immeasurable.

Martyn’s Law–Where are we up to on the detail?

At this point buyers will make me aware of how Martin's Law will be affected and what the conditions are. Right now it is quite difficult to explain literally because we expect an explanation to the preposition of detail. For example, the consequences could well be significant, especially for larger capacity premises, and they may need rather more detail to properly advise operators and make correct plans.

It is worth observing the Home Office blog. The latest one was updated this month, and it seems to be updated quite frequently.

The official name of the bill is the Terrorism (Protection of Buildings) Bill, and it was included in the last Royal Speech in November. A while ago, a consultation on the ordinary meaning of the provisions was convened to "ensure in the bill an appropriate balance between the defence of society and the prevention of excessive burdens on smaller buildings such as plantations and other public places".

Basically what we know at the moment is...

What falls within the scope of exposure to the provisions:

The premises and events should be open to the public.
The premises must be used for the purposes specified in the bill (pleasure or entertainment, retail trade, food and drink, etc.) {space}
{space}
{space}
How does it work?

The bill clarifies a multi-level model related to the work carried out indoors during the event and its spatiality:

Enhanced degree - At this level, a request for assistance is presented to sectors that carry out large-capacity events, taking into account the dire consequences expected in the event of a successful attack. This applies to facilities and events where more than 800 people gather, such as buildings and events with associated music, theaters, department stores, etc. Anyone serious about centrally secured premises or appropriate public events is required to:

{space}

{space}accept "reasonably practicable" measures to allow for the occurrence of a terrorist attack or physiological harm. The reasonable necessity test also applies to other regulatory regimes, for example health and safety, and allows organisations to make individual adjustments to suit their premises and the nature of their work and resources;
To arrange and create documents on security for the risk of terrorism, provided to regulatory authorities.
If a corporation is regarded as a serious person, it must be intended to work for a serious personality for its building and events.
In general, a serious person is required about a building that has the importance of normal:

{space}

Space} -Generally, a serious person about a normal building requires a regulatory authorities to notify the regulatory authorities: This is generally consistent with the previous claims.

The danger of a person in the room can take physiological damage when attacked is literally realized, so it is possible to wait as long as it is possible to wait. It only touches the necessary procedures to follow the footprints of the people who work indoors, or when they are actually suspected. The procedure is not assumed to be assumed to be an aggressive attack or aggressive attack, so this is not assumed, but for standard tier-pre-primries. It is not required to make a setting or purchase an auxiliary device.
The difference from the posted bill is to fill in a special format ("standard terrorist evaluation") for a building that is valuable for normal, or to conduct special training for those who work in these buildings. do not have. Last but not least, if the procedure is taken, employees must receive appropriate guidance and training to effectively fulfill it.
What are the fears from the consultant, for example, this is a rant: "For Martin's law, special instructions and assistance have information that is under the influence of the law. In this situation, we will be able to secure the safety in social places in this situation. We all remember that we had enough time to be familiar with the guidelines through "Cobid's regulations." We will believe that the government is actually removed from this mission.

Here's the conclusion. Details are not enough to give a comprehensive advice, but it is approaching it, and the leisure department should take this into account. We will continue to monitor and talk about the development of the event.

February 23, 2024 Woods Hoir

The talks began, as promised by the lon g-awaited Snow Himemoto. The discussion tells the beginning of the process that causes a major change to the gambling department, and there is little sign of the gambling department.

Gambling Consultations following the White Paper

Currently, the gambling committee's consultation is only about a fine and a change proposal for reporting a large amount of money. It is a promotion of large companies by changing the aspect of fines and changes in the method, and the permission to hold a promotion at a more optimal level (for example, 5 % instead of 3 %). It is a proposal that helps to overcome the hesitation.

At first glance, it is a reasonable proposal. However, it is actually 86 pages of consultation paper.

It is almost the same as a criminal opinion that is suggested as a way to impose a fine, and the fines are given by increasing the options for determining the fines generally considered by civil law and taking into account the possibility of compensation. There is a possibility that it will increase further.

In the two years from August 2021 to July 2023, a fine was paid by 38 million pounds and a settlement procedure for legal claims. This figure will not decrease in the future.

GC talks that have recently ended

{Ludge}

Another consultation ends on February 21, a proposal to limit incentives, a proposal for buyers to expand tools to restrict gambling, and reminds the buyer that their methods are not protected. Includes proposals to enforce, and suggestions to submit all legal statements every quarter. The ol d-fashioned rates for research, education, and treatment will soon be abolished.

There are many services as a whole. There are also ordinary, probably redundant things. Some have attractive specificity.

In particular, the lottery has been watching this deliberation with dissatisfaction. It starts with suicide's obligation to report, and (if ELM and public lottery share customers), there is a possibility that a double count may be connected, and the legal fee for donating 20 % to charity is 0, 1 %. There is something (and again ... ELM and the double count of a public lottery), and finally, the proposal of op t-in marketing, which may significantly limit the financing capacity that lottery has always enjoyed.

License for personal management

What is particularly interesting is a proposal to increase the number of PML owners, indicating that GC is increasingly needed to manage the industry. The increase in PML owners means that individual responsibilities increase. New roles that require PML include CEO (as an overall administrator), chairman of director, MLRO, designated officer, and probably parent company director. Most companies will no longer have one PML holder in each major manager.

PML costs an application fee (£ 370) and needs to be updated every five years, and is personally responsible for criminal liability. It is also a detailed document that provides personal finances, personal information, and criminal information.

Is the regulatory authority high or low?

Note

Changes in the Regulatory Commission have caused several controversy. The change consists of two or three members of the committee, composed of legal qualified judges (chairperson), committee members, and senior staff of the committee, and the chairman presides over all conferences. It is to do. The second proposal is to write the panel decision on paper by default.

The role of the regulatory panel is always confused, and many people are still part of the Gambling Committee, but the regulatory panels are independent and appropriate for "complaints". I have doubts about being in place. The committee has always tried to clarify that the regulatory panel is not a complaint process, the complaint is performed in the first instance court, and that the regulatory panel is a mere internal escalation process. In particular, the lottery has been watching this deliberation with dissatisfaction.

Govt Consulting on Age Verification in Connection with Alcohol Sales

The role of the regulatory panel is always confused, and many people are still part of the gambling committee, but the regulatory panel is independent and the appropriate complaint is appropriate. I have doubts about being in place. The committee has always tried to clarify that the regulatory panel is not a complaint process, the complaint is performed in the first instance court, and that the regulatory panel is a mere internal escalation process.

Unfortunately, this proposal seemed to worsen the situation. The role of the arbitration judge has not yet been determined from the perspective of industry experience, and questions about fairness (or impact on committee members) are part of the committee, and the essence of these committees. Is finally decided.

DCMS and its discussion

After the White Book's announcement, some major discussions were held.

The first was to limit the speed of spin from £ 2 to £ 15, and proposed measures for specific slots to provide a large protection for young people aged 18 to 24 years old. The other is about interesting measures introduced in the ground department. This can be a turning point for terrestrial operators between the possibility of relaxing casino rules and changing the 80/20 rules of slot machines.

The consultation ended in October, and we all are breathing and waiting for the answer. According to some sources, answers to betting regulations may be announced this week.

The final consultation on all operators is about forced collection. This will be implemented at the end of this year, usually requiring 0. 1 % to 1 % of all operators. The funds are used for research, prevention, and treatment, but this is no different from the previous system, strangely eligible for GC discussions, and GC has offered to cancel it.

Paddy takes a look back at 2023 and forward to 2024

Overall, these discussions have a lot to tell the general direction in which the committee is moving, and to enhance all the general authority to protect and regulate customers from gambling harm. I am paying attention. Until a more detailed answer is obtained, it is not known how much they will be implemented, but in the coming months, both lan d-based and online sectors are expected to change.

In the next few months, all operators must review the internal procedures to check the procedures and internal management structures, especially for social responsibilities and dialogue with customers. I recommend it.

In this regard, there is a question of whether it is correct or whether to carry out and / or at the time of the service.

In the options, small stimples that confirm that people are not drunken, and small stimeling that confirms that it is not sold by agents should be executed not only at delivery/ service points, but also at sales/ allocation points. It is specified.

Regarding technology, age judgment technology is also being considered to determine whether a specific product has reached legally.

Such problems arose in relation to the rapid growth of delivery services, not just supermarkets, but also food delivery. The most important thing is to protect the children from harm.

It may be interesting to check again about what will happen in 2023. Apparently, there was a biased idea of the law execution. Of course, it is natural that there is a response to the law execution, and if there are negative businesses that do not contribute to the achievement of license goals, there are many opportunities to plan only familiar concerns. 。 It is necessary to have a gentle response to a business operator who has been favoring for many years to correct it if there is an opportunity to cause problems. Opening the lid, for example, the number of execution procedures we had looked at during the many years that larg e-scale operations attacking the of f-license in the Halehills region opened the lid. We are curious to participate in several reviews, and see how they are examined by the Certified Small Committee.

Another thing that the number of complaints is increasing is about notification of struggle with noise. Similarly, it is used much more frequently than before. There is a case when a notification price declining notice is issued. We appealed to him, agreed with the authorities in the order of action before hearing, and the complaint was actually resolved in harmony. Suddenly, another claim to the roaring sound occurred, and another business suspension was notified, which was subject to the second complaint. In fact, in such a special living environment, it seems that everyone can save a considerable amount of time by taking the intermediate consistency that my client offers happily. Some businesses are fighting with survival, and this is happening when almost all ward authorities have not gained any opportunity to make a desirable proposal for budget reduction. That's it.

In August this year, it was good news that the license link in the pavement was extended for another 12 months until September 30, 2024. This is the freshest turn so far, and industry officials confirm that politicians will actually maintain a strict system until September 30, 2024, and to propose organized extensions.

The composition of the gambling field is gradually becoming clear. We were hoping for 100 years before the White Paper on Gambling was announced. As we began exploring the proposed changes, the operators showed intense energy. However, at this time, the number of discussions currently undergoing and the difficulty of appealing to resolve this problem to the end is troubled. The businesses I work with are disappointed that it takes time to get a certain result. There is still time for some talks to end, and if you need support to present your own eyes, please contact me.

One of the areas that may touch all buildings in the right year is considered to be "Martin Law" and officially a terrorism (building protection) bill. This is included in the imperial speech, which is considered part of the government's legislative program in the future of the Diet. The aim of this bill is to leave specific measures to the appropriate public facilities and events to reduce the danger of terrorism to residents. I haven't had dinner on this issue yet, and I haven't heard any presentations at the IL State Conference. This can have a significant impact and need to be scrutinized. You should observe the data flowing through the Diet.
