Ep 270: Rishi’s election call rumbles UK gambling
Manage episode 420774392 series 3468725
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.
