The UK Gambling Commission has decided to take to the road in a bid to
hold a number of open events across the country.
The aim of these events is to develop a relationship with smaller licensed
gambling operators without the need to rely on compliance visits.
The UK Gambling Commission stated that these open events would be the perfect
opportunity for licensed operators to comment on and question the Gambling Act
of 2005.
A large range of topics will be covered at these open events, including fees,
underage gambling, self exclusion, problem gambling and more.
The UK Gambling Commission said that it was welcoming suggestions for topics
of discussions.
The open events will be held as follows:
February 4: Bolton, Ramada Jarvis Hotel
February 11: Lancaster, Holiday Inn, Lancaster
February 22: Cardiff, Village Hotel
February 23: Chester, De Veres St David's Hotel
March 2: Plymouth, Novotel
March 22: Weymouth, Heights Hotel
March 25: Skegness, TBC
