UK Parliamentary Group Calls for Ban on Gambling Ads
A report compiled by the UK MPs and members of the House of Lords has called for a ban on gambling ads and a limit of £2 on all online slots.
The cross-party alliance also demands an overhaul of the country’s gambling regulations, plus a ban on VIP schemes and inducements. It also wants a review of online deposits and prize limits.
All of these factors would be encompassed in a new Gambling Act of Parliament.
The group is the All Party Parliamentary Gambling-Related Harm Group and it comes as the UK Government is preparing to review the regulation of the £11bn gambling industry.
The group is credited with campaigning to ban credit card bets and championed the arguments against the fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs) that was also successful.
A ban on betting advertising would take in television, live sports and social media and would reverse a decision to permit it taken in 2005, the last time that the Gambling Act was reviewed.
“This multi-million-pound industry has destroyed people’s lives. They have shown time and again that they will not effectively self-regulate,” Labour MP Carolyn Harris, leader of the group, said.
The group also described the UK’s Gambling Commission as “not fit for purpose.”

KSA Completes Its Investigation Into How Minors Could Still Gamble Online Despite Age Restrictions
The Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) has completed its investigation into how minors could still gamble online despite age restrictions. The investigation shows that it is virtually impossible for minors to gamble with legal gambling providers.
Minors are not allowed to gamble in the Netherlands. When age verification is circumvented, it is primarily done via accounts belonging to adult family members and friends. However, the KSA received reports that it was possible for minors to create accounts with legal online gambling providers and launched an investigation in 2025 as a result.
The study examined the registration process at online gambling providers, with a specific focus on identity verification and bank account verification. Transaction data requested from banks allowed for a more in-depth investigation into potential shortcomings.
The investigation shows that there are virtually no serious irregularities. However, in a very limited number of cases, players were able to use another person’s bank accounts or link their own bank account to another player’s account. This could occur almost exclusively in situations where people have exactly the same initials.
Discussions with online gambling providers revealed that they did not have an immediate solution for this. The KSA notes that such a solution is now available and will engage in a technical session with the online providers to discuss what the KSA expects from the sector in this regard. The KSA will also share its recommendations with the online gambling providers at a later date, and these guidelines will be incorporated into the Wwft guidance.
Michel Groothuizen, Chairman of the Board of the Dutch Gaming Authority, said: “The KSA is deeply concerned about minors gambling. Fortunately, it appears that this hardly ever occurs among licensed providers, but we do have clear indications that it is happening nonetheless. This is likely on the illegal market. Illegal providers often apply no or low standards for age verification and advertise specifically targeting this young demographic, for example via TikTok. This is extremely harmful, and the KSA is therefore working hard to combat the illegal supply. We are also placing a stronger focus on educating minors to make them aware of the risks of gambling.”
