Ep 270: Rishi’s election call rumbles UK gambling

iGaming Daily returns from Malta’s CasinoBeats Summit to the unexpected news that PM Rishi Sunak has declared a General Election on 4th July. Momentum towards a settlement of the industry’s regulatory affairs has been growing, but has the Gambling Review been stalled as government and the Civil Service shut down its engine abiding by the pre-election rules of Purdah. Will a six-week election campaign de-rail the Gambling Review’s outstanding settlements, related to the affordability checks pilot programme, RET Levy and changes needed to modernise UK land-based gambling. IGD examines the industry reaction to Rishi’s ‘Kamikaze call’ at the most sensitive of times for all UK Gambling stakeholders.  Joining SBC's Martyn Elliott on today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, are SBC’s Content Director, Ted Menmuir, and Payment Expert Editor, Ted Orme-Claye.
