2) Commission concludes four-part series on illegal online gambling
The Gambling Commission has published the fourth and final report in its series exploring the complex and evolving issue of illegal online gambling.
The series — launched earlier this year — set out to improve understanding of consumer engagement with illegal online gambling, the risks it poses, and the actions being taken to disrupt it.
In a blog post, Commission Director of Research and Statistics Ben Haden reflects on the final report.

The second series of the ‘Inside the Commission’ podcast kicks off with part one of episode one, featuring John Pierce and Donna Duffy from the Commission’s enforcement and intelligence teams.
