The BGC has released the guidelines to coincide with the organization’s fifth anniversary and its members are expected to adhere to the published guidelines and the organization’s Code of Conduct.
The Code Handbook outlines a gambling framework that focuses on measures in the industry to improve standards, and includes guidelines on advertising, creating a safer gambling environment, game design, and player protection.
The organization boasts its codes and members have introduced rules that in most cases go further than the legal requirements in the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) legislative framework. The launch of this Code Handbook comes a month after the BGC released its international guide related to online gambling regulations.

The UKGC has welcomed the new Code Handbook measures put forward by the BGC. The gambling industry in the UK is undergoing substantial changes to update the Gambling Act in the region to make the legislation more appropriate for a digital environment.
The authorities in the UK have launched a lengthy consultation process, the White Paper, which covers many facets of the current gambling legislation. In the statement, the BGC says it is working closely with gaming industry stakeholders to introduce initiatives identified by the White Paper consultation. It says it is in the process of collaborating on up to 50 new initiatives to help raise standards in the gaming industry.
I am delighted to announce this new Code Handbook, which comprises over five years of determined work to raise standards, across the board. It is also entirely fitting that we publish this landmark new Code Handbook on our fifth anniversary. The BGC was founded as the industry’s standards body, and this Handbook draws together our sector’s combined efforts, under the leadership of the BGC, to raise standards on safer gambling in the UK.
