The UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Gambling Reform has launched a comprehensive inquiry into the future of gambling laws and oversight across Great Britain, one that could have far-reaching consequences for digital platforms and new verticals like esports.
The inquiry, which runs from July 17 to September 12, 2025, seeks to modernize the country’s regulatory framework in response to rapid digital transformation and growing concerns around gambling harm. Both land-based and online gambling will fall under scrutiny, with the group specifically looking at how existing policies intersect with public health, economic stability, and technological innovation.
