In March 2018, the Gambling Commission announced the conclusions from its review of online gambling which can be found at: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/Online-review-March-2018.pdf

Among the changes proposed was the further protection of children by requiring licensed gambling operators to complete age-verification checks before consumers are able to access free-to-play gambling-style games. The Gambling Commission also announced that it would conduct further work to understand the risks of gambling on credit cards before consulting on options for change.
