🛡️ UKGC adds new illegal markets lead

The UK Gambling Commission is creating a dedicated head of illegal markets role, with a reported £65,000 salary, as it sharpens its response to black market gambling activity. The move signals a more targeted enforcement strategy in Great Britain. 🇬🇧 Reported by NEXT.io, the new post points to rising regulatory focus on unlicensed operators and player protection. For the industry, that means closer scrutiny of compliance, marketing and channelisation — and a clearer message that legal operators are central to safer gambling. 📊⚖️
