UKGC Announces Stricter Enforcement on Gambling Suppliers in 2025

The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has revealed plans to significantly enhance its enforcement efforts on gambling suppliers starting in 2025, emphasizing compliance and consumer protection as top priorities.

“We are shifting our focus to ensure that the gambling industry supply chain upholds the highest standards of compliance. Suppliers play a critical role in how gambling services are delivered, and we will not hesitate to take firm action where necessary.”

“Operators are only one part of the equation. The role of suppliers in shaping the gambling experience cannot be understated, and we expect them to take their responsibilities seriously.

In 2025, the UKGC plans to implement more detailed inspections and impose stricter penalties for non-compliance, including financial sanctions and license suspensions. Rhodes noted that the Commission’s aim is not only to enforce rules but also to drive meaningful change across the sector.

These plans signal a pivotal shift in the UKGC’s regulatory approach, extending beyond operators to address gaps in supplier accountability.

With less than a month of 2025 gone by, the UKGC has levied its first financial penalty. Greentube was fined £1 million (€1,193,188 / $1,229,141) as a result of social responsibility and anti-money laundering failures through its admiralcasino.co.uk site.
