Today the Commission has launched the second set of consultations on proposals contained in the White Paper and is calling for views from consumers, gambling businesses and other interested groups.

The consultations, which will run for 12 weeks, will cover the following topics:

Tim Miller, Gambling Commission Executive Director for research and policy, said:

The White Paper set out that a top government priority is ensuring that gambling happens safely. We share this commitment and today's consultations propose how we can deliver on it.

"We need as many people as possible to have their say on any potential changes to the rules operators must follow.

"These views will ultimately help shape gambling regulation across the country."

As set out in Tim Millers blog earlier this month, the Commission will shortly be launching a further consultation covering two topics relating to business as usual matters. This consultation will include proposals relating to clarity and transparency to the way financial penalties are calculated, and financial key event reporting by licensees to ensure the Commission has the right information for risk-based regulation.
