Malta Gambling CEO Voices Concerns Over Compliance Standards
Gambling Commission CEO Neil McArthur has stated that current compliance among its UK-facing online gambling operators is simply “not good enough”.
McArthur said: "The Commission is clear that although progress has been made in the regulation of the online market since 2014, far more needs to be done to raise standards.
"So let today be the start of a fresh commitment: a commitment to raise standards and to collaborate with us to make more progress more quickly.
"In return, the Commission commits that we stand ready to help in these efforts. But, rest assured, we also remain ready when needed to take enforcement action."
