The British government has explicitly stated that gambling businesses are accountable for the actions of their associated partners. This was declared in their white paper analysis of gambling.
The white paper affirms that the UK Gambling Commission will continue to hold operators liable for all promotional activities conducted by their associated partners.
The white paper indicates that associated partners will not be granted their own permits. This aligns with a leaked report from July 2022, where the British government stated they didn’t perceive a necessity for associated partners to possess their own licenses.
The government desires operators to ensure their associated partners adhere to stricter advertising and marketing regulations.
Some individuals believe that granting associated partners their own permits would simplify matters for operators. Jamie Walters, the chief executive of QiH Group, asserts that obtaining a license in the United States was costly and time-consuming. However, he believes that companies like his, which comprehend compliance and have a positive history, would be capable of managing it.
We think this is a worthwhile investment and a positive step forward for us, as it will help to distinguish between operators who comply with regulations and those who do not.

It is recommended that marketing and opt-in choices are made clear and separate options at the time of registration, rather than being bundled together with other broader terms of agreement.
It is crucial for users to have the ability to modify their preferences at any point in time via their account settings. Operators are obligated to give players the option to choose whether or not they want to receive communications through various channels. This implies that players should be able to decide if they wish to be contacted through SMS, email, or mobile app alerts.
**Extra Permission**
Users should also be able to choose to receive bonuses and promotional deals independently from other marketing methods and set limits on the offers they receive. This means eliminating the practice of cross-selling products without explicit user permission.
These steps will enhance the operator’s upcoming requirement to refrain from directing any marketing efforts towards individuals exhibiting strong indications of risk.
