The British Gambling Commission announced that all non-remote operators must already adhere to the Gambling Act 2005 and ensure machines available for consumer use are compliant.

However, from 29 July 2026, they must also immediately remove machines if the Commission informs them that the manufacture, supply, installation, adaption, maintenance or repair of the machine was not carried out in reliance on a gaming machine technical operating licence, or did not comply with other standards.

The change is aimed at streamlining processes and ensuring non-compliant machines are swiftly removed from premises - a benefit to consumers and operators.

The announcement forms part of the Commission’s response to its third consultation to implement proposals from the 2023 Gambling Act Review White Paper High stakes: gambling reform for the digital age. (opens in new tab)

The remaining responses will be published in the Summer after the Commission has concluded consideration of consultation responses and supplementary data, research and evidence reports submitted by stakeholders.
