LVS gains licenced software operator status

From 1 September 2007 suppliers of gambling software in Great Britain are required to hold an operating licence issued by the Gambling Commission under the Gambling Act 2005.

The Gambling Commission promotes:

• ‘Fair and open’ standards intended to ensure remote gambling is conducted in a fair and open way
• ‘Responsible gambling’ standards supporting the licensing objective of protecting vulnerable groups from being harmed or exploited; and
• ‘Security’ standards that support the fair and open objective

By complying with the Gambling Act, LVS support the Gambling Commission in their mission to make gambling in the UK socially responsible.
