The UK’s white paper was finally released in April, following an exclusive preview at last year’s WRB. Yet as the government moves toward publishing the first in its consultations on turning the paper into practical measures, concerns around financial affordability, the role of the proposed ombudsman, and how the levy will be distributed remain. This panel looks at the latest evidence and attempts to break the sense of industry deja vu by offering advice on these lingering questions.

• What’s the feedback on the UKGC’s proposed changes been?
• How should the Statutory Levy be operated and administered?
• What is the optimal system for data sharing and affordability checks?
• How can operators prepare and achieve full gambling compliance?
