The British Gambling Commission has just published a series of rules that clarify the newly reformed Gaming Law and establish guidelines for the country’s online gaming casinos and land casinos and bingo halls.

One rule that applies equally to the online gaming casinos and their land- based counterparts is that both must give customers a constant reminder of the time of day. That means that online gaming casinos must include a clock which would remind players how much time they had been online gambling so far in any particular session.

Likewise, land casinos would have to have clocks on the gaming floors, and would also have to have enough windows so that patrons have natural clues as to the time of day. This is in contrast to many land casinos in countries other than Britain that use deceptive lighting and do not install clocks on gaming floors so that patrons lose track of time.

Another new rule for online gaming casinos would force casinos to verify the age of users of debit cards in order to avoid underage gambling.

The new rules apply only to land casinos located in Britain and to online gaming casinos that seek a British license. Failure to comply with the law could cause a revocation of the licenses of both online gaming casinos and land casinos.
