Gambling Commission CEO made the comments at the Gambling commission's CEO Briefing 2022 on 25 November. Rhodes laid out plans for how the commission is set to operate over the next few years.
Gambling Commission is interested in how operators promote safer gambling. It is not the Commission's job to judge how much money is spent on gambling, but to promote safe gambling and move customers away from behaviours that present a higher risk to the licensing objectives.
Gambling Commission CEO doesn't want to dwell on emerging products like NFTs and cryptocurrency. He believes the risks from the black market are overstated. The Commission will focus on disrupting illegal gambling sites. It cannot condone bad practice in the legitimate market.
Rhodes is speaking at the Gambling Act Review. He believes the government has a critical role to play in balancing safe play and freedom to bet. G gambling commission's outlook is one that prioritises customer freedom and extinguishes crime in the industry. The commission released its yearly data for the period between April 2021 and March 2022. Gross gambling yield recovered to almost £10bn in that period.
