Here's a thing. We know the UKGC can do nothing about rogue casinos. Not their jurisdiction, not their laws.
What the government COULD do is heavily educate people. Take a pause from tightening the rules for the genuine and licensed sites. Start a nationwide advertising campaign online and on TV, radio and in the newspapers. Explain what to look for when you gamble online.
"Look for the Gambling Commission logo. Click it. We will tell you if the site is safe and you are protected."
The problem right now is the rogues are advertising at the most heavy rate I have seen in years; SMS and email spam is through the roof. And the UKGC is powerless to stop that. So they should be using their powers to educate the scammers out of the market.
You're only a mark if you don't know how to spot the scam.
