EUROPE
RegulatedGreat Britain
Great Britain is a point-of-consumption remote gambling market in which businesses serving British consumers require the relevant Gambling Commission permission.
Market brief
TerritoryThe Great Britain profile uses a point-of-consumption lens: the relevant question is not only where a company is incorporated, but whether it offers a regulated activity to British consumers and holds the corresponding permission.
BETTIMES keeps operating licences, software licences, trading names and domains separate. A company can hold several activities, and a supplier permission does not automatically authorise a consumer-facing operator relationship.

The Gambling Commission regulates remote services offered to consumers in Great Britain even when key equipment or the operator is based elsewhere. Northern Ireland has a different regulatory scope.
Remote Gaming Duty increased to 40% from 1 April 2026.
A 25% remote betting rate is scheduled for 1 April 2027, with stated product exceptions.
Financial-risk assessment implementation and related LCCP changes remain a live compliance topic.
