UKGC to implement credit card ban inbound starting April 14th

Tue Jan 14, 2020 9:12 am

After a year-long consultation on online gambling, the UKGC issued its first regulatory enforcement for the year 2020, by confirming that it has sanctioned a ban on all credit card transactions carried across all UK gambling fields including both land-based and online products, with the exception of non-remote lotteries.
This development was anticipated and discussed in various fora. The UKGC  will implement this ban from 14 April 2020, giving all actors of the industry a three months grace period to undertake all necessary adjustments.
This action was taken after reports showing that gambling with credit cards is allowing players to gamble with money they don't really have resulting in debts.
The ban is limited to credit cards, while debit cards will continue serving gambling action like before.
