Melanie EllisGUEST
And this is just for the largest operators, I think, who are going to be initially starting with this.

Melanie EllisGUEST
And then there's going to be some further engagement with the Gambling Commission about how this goes.

Melanie EllisGUEST
But then eventually we're moving to a position of, for the 25-year-olds and over, £1,000 net deposit in a rolling 24-hour period or £3,000 in a rolling 90-day period.

Melanie EllisGUEST
So this triggers you then firing off this request to the credit reference agency to essentially discover is this customer subject to financial risks? So have they had bankruptcies or debt settlement orders? Have they got defaulted on loans and so on? And then based on what you get back from that, you have to take appropriate action and we are going to get some more guidance from the Gambling Commission in due course as to what that might be.

Melanie EllisGUEST
It's probably not going to be particularly prescriptive, that guidance, because they don't like to tell you this is exactly what you have to do in these cases.
