The Gambling Commission has asked for stakeholders in the UK industry to reach out with proposals on how the Commission could reduce any unnecessary regulatory burdens that are impacting the industry.
The initiative is part of the Commission's 2026/27 Business Plan to reduce regulatory drag by streamlining processes.
Tim Miller, Executive Director for Research and Policy, said: "We want to hear from the industry about where regulation can be improved or streamlined without compromising the protections that consumers rightly expect.
"This is an opportunity to identify tangible changes that support innovation while ensuring regulation remains effective, proportionate and focused on keeping gambling fair and safe."
Potential proposals could include licence conditions and codes of practice, technical standards, reporting processes or any other additional interactions across the regulatory framework.
Earlier today, Miller announced his resignation from the Commission and said he expects to start his new career chapter in September.
In the face of such potential change, the Commission promises to uphold its standards and ensure that gambling in the UK remains safe for customers and crime-free.
The proposals will be accepted until the end of September, and the topic will be brought up at the next Operators Engagement Forum on 2 July.
On the proposal form, the Commission explained: “Your proposals may be related to current requirements or guidance that, due to the passage of time and other regulatory or legislative changes, no longer serve their intended purpose well or could be streamlined or rationalised.”
However, the Commission explained that it would be unlikely to consider proposals related to live and current policies that are already subject to formal consultation or newly implemented changes.
The official closing date for proposals is 25 September, 2026
