🧭 Ex-UKGC chief Andrew Rhodes joins Hawkbridge

Former UK Gambling Commission CEO Andrew Rhodes has joined Hawkbridge as Principal Consultant, bringing five years of frontline UK regulatory experience. Reported by SBC News, his expertise spans affordability checks, enforcement and bonus rules — all critical issues for operators navigating Britain’s tighter compliance climate. 🏛️📊 Why it matters: Rhodes oversaw major penalties, including £17m against Entain and £19m against William Hill, and was in office as White Paper reforms reshaped the market. For UK-facing brands and new entrants, that insight could be valuable as affordability and promotional restrictions continue to redefine strategy. 🇬🇧⚖️
