英国正考虑修订已实施17年的赌博法规以应对成瘾问题。大臣们目前正在商讨将网络赌场单注金额上限设定在2至5英镑之间，并禁止提供免费投注。游戏公司或将被要求移除网络游戏中加剧客户风险的功能，例如使用户更快输钱的快速游戏模式。.
网络赌博平台可能需强制核查玩家经济承受能力，以确保其消费金额不超过可负担范围。首相鲍里斯·约翰逊及其他内阁成员必须在下周内对最终方案进行批准。.
Analysts interviewed by CNBC have praised the planned legislation, saying it isn’t as stringent as previous versions that had been blocked. According to Jefferies’ James Wheatcroft, investors may be relieved that the planned legislation isn’t more restrictive. According to the Wednesday note to clients, the most significant aspects are “relatively benign” and can be expected to have a limited financial impact on the sector. At 9:08 a.m., 888 Holdings Plc shares increased 4.9% in London trading, Playtech Pld rose 0.2%, and Flutter Entertainment Plc advanced 0.8%. Entain Plc was up 0.1% at 9:08 a.m.
据知情人士透露，政府计划放宽对实体赌场运营商的限制。额度调整后将允许赌场最多配备80台博彩机。政府还将允许赌场向富裕的外国游客提供信贷服务，此举有助于实体赌场通过与网络赌博公司竞争。受此消息影响，旗下拥有英国赌场的Rank Group Plc股价上涨3.3%。.
