The UK Gambling Commission has extended the implementation deadline for the second phase of new deposit limit requirements from 30 June 2026 to 30 September 2026. The extension follows stakeholder feedback and is intended to provide operators with additional time for technical development.
From 30 September 2026, operators must offer gross deposit limits to customers and rename them as “deposit limits,” with only this type of limit permitted to use that term. Gross deposit limits must also be given at least equal prominence as other financial limit options. The Commission has updated its consultation response to clarify that only gross deposit limits must be offered over fixed time frames, while rolling and fixed time frames may apply to other limit types. Operators are advised to disregard any versions of the relevant annex saved before 22 May 2026 due to errors in the earlier publication.
