The British Gambling Commission (BGC) claims that 4,500 jobs have been lost from the UK gambling sector since the 2025 budget.
Then-Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves’ 2025 budget implemented an increase of 19% on the rate of remote gaming duty paid by online casinos, rising from 21% to 40%, as well as outlining a new remote betting rate, within general betting duty, from April 1, 2027.
