The Gambling Commission, a highly respected authority in line with Canada’s gambling regulations, recently declared plans to release four new consultations related to the Gambling Act Review. These add-ons follow the White Paper review shared previously this year.
The proposed policies
Following multiple discussions since the initial White Paper release last April, the commission confirmed the upcoming release of four proposals, which involve Age Verification, Online Game Designs, Enhanced Cross-Selling, and Direct Marketing . They will thoroughly address financial risks and vulnerabilities faced by online casinos.
The financial risk topic, especially, has sparked significant debate in recent months. It's clear that these risks pose challenges for both casino operators and players. The anticipated system will introduce a dual-tiered verification process for users aimed at minimizing financial risks, including affordability checks.
The introduction of affordability checks has stirred controversy. These checks might limit access for a diverse array of players with varying budgets. Moreover, players may need to provide personal documentation, such as bank statements, to the casino.
The details will be confirmed with the official release of the four proposals later this week.
The consultation process
Tim Miller, the Executive Director of the Gambling Commission, oversees the consultation process. He mentioned that the goal for drafting and consultations is to meet a deadline by mid-October of this year.
The Commission disclosed that along with the aforementioned proposals, they will also launch two other ventures to implement stricter rules on personal management licenses and enhance regulatory panel procedures.
