UKGC seeks guidance on customer interactions Share UK Gambling Commission ( UKGC) has launched a further consultation seeking guidance on ‘how online gambling companies interact with their customers’.  The Commission aims to gather wide-ranging insights and opinions from businesses, employees and their customers on ‘what protections should be offered by online gambling operators to prevent harms to their customers’.
