The United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC) said that it has began a consultation with public, stakeholders and casino operators regarding the use of credit cards in online gambling. According to the UKGC notice the Commission “is seeking meaningful input to help determine if restrictions, potentially including an outright ban, are necessary to limit risks to consumers”.

According to responsible gambling organisations and the UK gambling watchdog, a prohibition on using credit cards for depositing would make the online gambling process safer, as players would be deterred from risking money they do not have.

The Commission has been considering a credit card ban for a while. Now, it seeks the opinion of the public before making its final decision – to impose restrictions or to place a complete ban.
