Gambling Commission Questions Advertising Of Vegas Casinos In UK

5 Mar, 2008 / GamblingCompliance Ltd. / Harry Ashton

At the recent GamblingCompliance Executive Briefing a question was asked as to why an online casino cannot advertise prizes offering UK customers a seat at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Tournament in Las Vegas. Whilst the Gambling Commission holds the position that this would constitute foreign gambling, illegal under section 331 of the 2005 Gambling Act, other bodies such as the Remote Gambling Association question this interpretation and are currently awaiting formal clarification from the Commission.
