The UK Gambling Commission has published proposed changes to its online gambling software and technical standards.

The UKGC launched a consultation on its Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards (RTS) last year and the initial results (viewable here) have resulted in a number of proposed revisions, on which the UKGC is seeking further input from industry stakeholders.

Among the changes are a requirement for in-play betting software to allow customers to “choose whether to automatically accept price fluctuations that occur after a bet is placed.” These options would have to be presented on the bet slip or in the account settings, and operators would need to provide sufficient info to ensure customers understood their options.

Online poker operators are potentially facing new rules on funds confiscated from players due to integrity issues. Some cases involve funds that rightfully belong to other players, yet the UKGC says players are “insufficiently informed” at present as to what happens to confiscated funds.
