The UK Gambling Commission is a regulatory body established in 2005 to oversee gambling activities in the United Kingdom. Its primary role is to ensure that gambling is conducted fairly, safely, 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 UK Gambling Commission also conducts research and provides guidance on gambling-related issues. It works to prevent underage gambling and supports initiatives aimed at helping individuals with gambling addiction. The Commission collaborates with various stakeholders, including the government and law enforcement, to maintain a safe gambling environment.
