The Gambling Commission is a regulatory body in the United Kingdom responsible for overseeing commercial gambling activities. Established under the Gambling Act 2005, its main role is to ensure that gambling is conducted fairly, openly, and free from crime. The Commission issues licenses to operators and enforces regulations to protect consumers and promote responsible gambling. In addition to licensing, the Gambling Commission also works to prevent underage gambling and problem gambling. It collaborates with various stakeholders, including the government and law enforcement, to ensure compliance with laws and to address any issues related to gambling practices in the UK.
