⏸️ UK affordability checks still in limbo

The UK Gambling Commission has told SBC News that no decision has been made on whether to move ahead with Financial Risk Assessments (FRAs), keeping the affordability rollout on hold. 📌 For operators, that extends regulatory uncertainty around customer checks and compliance planning. Why it matters: FRAs sit at the centre of the UK’s safer gambling debate, balancing player protection with friction in the user journey. 🎰⚖️ A longer pause gives the market more time to prepare, but it also delays clarity on how the rules may reshape acquisition, retention and risk controls.
