On June 26, 2026, the UK Gambling Commission invited gambling industry stakeholders to submit proposals identifying opportunities to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens while maintaining consumer protections and supporting the licensing objectives of the Gambling Act 2005. The initiative, announced as part of the Commission's 2026/27 Business Plan, seeks feedback on how regulatory requirements, guidance and operational processes could be streamlined or improved. Stakeholders are invited to submit proposals relating to the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP), Remote Technical Standards, reporting requirements and broader regulatory interactions. The Commission stated that the exercise aims to ensure compliance costs remain proportionate to the risks posed to consumers while continuing to prevent crime, ensure gambling is conducted fairly and openly, and protect children and vulnerable persons from gambling-related harm. Industry stakeholders are invited to submit proposals through the Commission's online submission form by the end of September 2026. The initiative will also be discussed at the next Operators Engagement Forum scheduled for July 2, 2026.
