High-spending online gamblers to face financial risk checks

The UK gambling regulator has introduced new measures to protect high-spending online gamblers, requiring those who bet over £1,000 in a 24-hour period to undergo a financial risk assessment. This assessment aims to identify potential problem gamblers and prevent financial harm. The move is part of a broader effort to promote responsible gambling and reduce the risks associated with online betting. High-spending gamblers will be required to provide information about their financial situation to help operators assess their risk.
