John Penrose, UK Minister responsible for gambling policy and regulation, has announced that UK will demand all gambling sites to have a UK Gambling License (UK Gambling Commission) in the future.
At the moment every site can offer games to UK citizens if they have their licenses effective and legitimate in the territories they’re working on.
It is no surprise that the tightened laws are the result of the “Poker Black Friday”, the closure of Full Tilt Poker and the suspected license offences (Alderney license).
It is believed that the tightened laws will come into effect around 1013-1014.
