Gambling Commission Reviews 

This is a highly criminal and scamming operation. The commission are as bent as they come allowing these sites to simply fix the games against your winnings. The pattern is so obvious to see. They receive huge backhanders from these sites for not doing what their suppose to do. Massively conrupt.

So they asked for public consultation on affordability checks then ignored them anyway

A bunch of people who don't gamble decide what people can do with their own money. A bunch of busybody pathetic interfering do-gooders.

People will just go to the black market even more now.

Great job GC

I always questioned what the (Gambling Commission) did for the mostly online punters, and yes after looking at the reviews I was correct , absolutely nothing.
I closed Coral and Ladbrokes accounts after been restricted because I changed my deposit limits too much, i only bet £30 average a month, I was never informed that changing my deposits would result in restrictions and also being made to feel like a gambleaholic ?? And they inform other betting sites. And yes the GC can do nothing.
I’ve been having a flutter since the 80s but thanks to Coral and Ladbrokes that’s over.

Scams corrupted backhanders..
No point... they dictate so the more money casinos make..they take more so where is the shock..🤷‍♂️

As corrupted as these casinos. Dont care about people's right just useless. They dont help you there so vile these people a revolution needs to happen. We all are not liars look at there reviews on here. This is tyranny control thete the gambling commission ffs and not helping the people. There taking a cut !!!!
UK NEEDS TO DO A REVOLUTION AGAINST THESE VILE ELITES.

This is a Quango that feels it is not accountable . They will not look into individual complaints, so why are they there then. Chairs do not need people to sit on to stop them moving. Newtons law of motion etc. so what are they there for.
I think this is a classic example of presenteeism. Just having to be there to be paid.
Who monitors the gambling commission staff, that’s right the British public. Could we do without them? Would we save money without them. Are they really needed . Are they as bad or even worse than the organisations they are supposed to be monitoring

Don’t bother wasting your time they won’t help

I want to know why they exist. I discovered by phone that they are responsible for awarding the National Lottery to Allwyn. The new app is a disgrace and the complaints about Allwyn on Trust Pilot back up my anger. The online gambling commission site won't take responsibility and advise you to complain directly to Allwyn. Allwyn have a prepaid word salad response which refuses to admit the dissatisfaction that the public have since Allwyn took over. I've played for years and never had an issue with the Camelot app. I could sign in and purchase 2 tickets for Euromillions and the lottery easily and be signed out in 2 minutes or less. Not so now. I couldn't even find the Euromillions game to play. What is the point of the gambling commission if they won't acknowledge or act on complaints. Sack the lot.

According to the Gambling commission,bookmakers are not supposed to ask for verification when you withdraw money if they could have done it earlier.

When you point this out to them they just say they don't get involved. Why have rules if they're not enforced? What a weak spineless bunch they are

All they care about are the affordability checks they're determined to push through

I will do something soon . these frauded scammers UK Gambling Commission.they need blood probly ! I think then they will stop scams games in this country 👍 dirty scammers

DIVERSIFICATION!
it's obviously in your face,, why are you allowing asset relocation on lotteries?it's clearly blatant, this week's lotto , 4,5,6,7 11,33 ? Does that look random ? And the fact other lotteries coincidentally have eaten the other units ,,,,like the 20s40s etc because it happens so frequently especially the sharing of the same numbers over the different lotteries over the same periods,,,
I don't believe the majority of the anonymous winners are even real and the stats saying x amount won this prize all lies if anything there's a higher number of lucky dip and low threshold winners but they don't show that because it's assumed the single millionaire took it all ,,,,
I hope you know if you know this is going on it's espionage and treacherous against the UK citizens,,,, whatever the voice tells you in your heads to justify it ,,,, it's wrong

The ukgc are responsible for hundreds of deaths through suicides and many thousands of lives destroyed.
Because of the lies they tell people.
People had trust in the ukgc so when they say to people "we can assure you the games are completely random and no wayike fruit machines" we believed them and carried on playing the games thinking it was us that were just unlucky.
LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE.
the ukgc should be facing charges of fraud deception and man slaughter but instead they remain the ONLY regulator of one of the biggest industries in the country.
ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.
and funny how they don't answer a single bad review!!
Too busy Trying to find ways to protect the bookies to get there back handers!

As a reformed compulsive gambler i have managed to control my gambling using a weekly limit of disposable income online, then the bookies threw a huge spanner in the works and nothing was done about it! I have a weekly limit so when i win a reasonable ammount i will withdraw a large % of it as this goes to covering my losses of other weeks but the new you can top back up your winnings is against the grain of responsible gambling and just the bookies way of getting it back as they have realised somebody with lets say a £50 a week limit wins 5k then they know you have to lose constantly for 2 years for them to get it back and the old reverse your withdrawl doesnt help them anymore as withdrawls no longer take several days so they have come up with this in an attempt to lure you back in and get there money back

The don't listen to no one except their arrogant selves.
They are so out of touch with the corruption and fraud and cheating happening in online gambling that they need to be closed down and a new gambling commission formed that actually help and listen to customers and punish these gambling companies properly who constantly break laws and regulations.

Andrew rhodes your a dirty scum bag criminal, and should be thrown in jail, 200k salery and for what exactly? Commiting fraud and theft? Robbing the poor ay? I hope you rot in hell and all your so called butt licking friends! Bunch of scammers! You ain't helping us your pretending to help us with these restrictions but it only benefits yourselves for your own gains! Dirty, dirty freaks!

PATHETIC 2 month to reply to an email that's a full year just to answer 6 emails how can they EVER resolve anything corruption to another level

As with many government regulatory bodies, Gambling Commission and the SIA being prime examples, they are in place to govern the "non-governance" of a private/non-public owned industry which the Government have a massive vested interest in controlling.

SIA - The security industry which has become a dumping ground for the unemployable which the SIA ensure that the high standards and requirements to be granted a licence are NOT IN ANY WAY REGULATED OR AUDITED. (I digress but another example)

The Gambling Commission are in place to allow the multi-multi-billion pound privately owned gaming industry to fleece as much money as is physically possible from the British/UK Public, it is also there to allow Europe's and the Worlds dirty/illegal money to be washed through the UK, generating billions and billions in taxes in to the treasury. The same as half the UK's high streets which would be boarded up if it was not for the hundreds of empty Barber Shops, Vape Shops, Phone Repair, Chick/Kebab, Coffee Bars and Basement Nightclubs with virtually no clientele despite its advertised events showing as sold out every week.

So the Gambling Commission regulate the industry for money laundering, this being the excuse that just about every online casino use to suddenly decide that they need ALL your personal and financial data as well as refuse it for the most ridiculous and irrelevant of reasons if and when you finally have a decent win which you try and withdraw. YOU CANT PAY CASH IN TO YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNT - YOU CAN ONLY TRANSFER MONEY FROM YOUR OWN OFFICIAL AND GAMBLING COMMISSION APPROVED BANKING/FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. THIS ACCOUNT ALREADY SUBJECT TO THE WORLDS MOST STRICTEST OF ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING CHECKS - SO MONEY THAT IS IN THERE HAS ALREADY GONE FROM EVERY ANTI MONEY LAUDERING CHECK AND CONTROL THE UK HAS!

The online user, gamble account holder has transfer money from their bank account, every penny of which has gone through the strictest of anti money laundering checks and the UK licensed online casino has happily accepted deposit, after deposit, after deposit, for weeks, months even years, in most cases thousands and tens of thousands of pounds without any issue, and why should there be, it is from a UK bank, it has already gone through all the checks. Does Aston Martin runs checks when you pay £150,000 by bank transfer for a car or Rolex London when you buy a watch by bank transfer, NO - Do the refuse to give you a refund until you provide them with your personal data and all your financial dealings, earnings, savings, copies of bank statements etc if the Car or Watch is faulty. NO BECAUSE YOU MADE PAYMENT FROM YOUR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT AND THEY ARE REFUNDING TO YOUR PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT.

There is absolutely no reason, requirement or logical reason for anti money laundering legislation to be applied or form part of a UK licenced online casino which only allows its customers to make deposits from their own UK and Gambling Commission approved banks. And if there was, which there isn't it is not for the "supposed UK regulated" online casinos to decide as and when the make these checks and decide themselves as to what information and checks they make and whatever reason they choose to reject the documentation presented.

The Gambling Commission are not there to protect and safeguard the gambler, they have deliberately included a "self regulatory" condition in to the online casino's licenses which allows the casinos to allow a customer to make as many deposits for as long as they want and for as much as they want (just send a responsible gambling questionnaire if the client has a clear addiction and problem) BUT A FREE REIGN TO BLOCK A WITHDRAWEL WHILST THE CASINO DEMANDS WHATEVER INFORMATION THEY CHOOSE AND APPLY WHATEVER CONDITIONS THEY WISH all under the Gambling Commission inclusion of "anti money laundering"

It is not the customers of the Online Casino's which the Gambling Commission should be applying strict anti money laundering controls and checks to, it is the Casino's, do they check the source of all the money going in to the casino's account which is used to declare its annual profit each year for which it pays corporation tax to the treasury on? They know the UK customers money is legit, it come from personal UK bank accounts, but what about the rest, how much cash is pad in, how much is transferred from offshore and overseas accounts?

Have the UK Gambling Commission looked in to Merkur Slots, who have popped up all over the Country, 24 hour high street slot arcades/casino's a dozen or more popping up in every high street, city and town. They can afford to run the high street shops, 24 hours a day that UK bookies had to close, and some how make £196m gross profit in 2024. no one every goes in them?

This company takes bribes off gambling websites that's why they don't do anything there apart of the big scam

You lot should have banned pragmatic play a long time ago

England... once colonized the world and was a superpower. Now, it's a paradise for online casinos with fake licenses and politicians involved in massive frauds. You laugh at the East, saying it's the Third World, but look what's happening here. In Poland, for example, Coral, Landbrokers, and Hello Fortune would have been shut down long ago, and those responsible would be behind bars.

What more can I say? 1.2 is too good a rating. They were founded to protect gambling, yet they line their pockets with bribes and allow it. You're completely useless.

Casino Guru has done much more for players, and you should be starving. Over the past 18 years, you and the casinos have probably introduced believably huge funds with the English budget and people account. This is sick
