Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I found this interesting, I was just looking through some of the literature (Old / Expired Link) from the UKGC and noticed this on the last page under the heading, "What we DON'T do"
It seems odd to me and I'm just trying to figure out what it means. A casino has to adhere to the LCCP until they get a license, but once they get a UKGC license, player complaints to a third party won't affect them keeping it? I'm thinking of a scenario like Purple Lounge - the UKGC gets their fees while everything is good but if things go wrong they step back with their hands in the air and say "That has nothing to do with us"...?
Consumer Complaints: we don’t resolve consumer complaints. For example, we can’t help you get your money back from a bet placed or from a gaming machine, nor rule on a disputed National Lottery prize.
► Operators who hold a Gambling Commission licence must have procedures for handling customer complaints and arrangements for disputes to be referred to an independent third party.
