However, over 200 licensed betting shops have shut down in the past five years, and Dugher states that this figure could increase if the government doesn\u2019t take steps to address the rising energy expenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cost of simply operating is escalating rapidly,\u201d Dugher stated. \u201cPersistent energy price increases could have a devastating impact on the hospitality and leisure sector, including affecting our members, if immediate action is not taken promptly.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Gambling establishments are a crucial foundation of the hotel and tourism sector in towns and cities throughout the United Kingdom. Similar to other parts of the hospitality industry, they are battling to recover from the worldwide pandemic and are now confronting a new predicament.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, wagering firms, which play a significant role on the UK\u2019s struggling main streets, are facing comparable difficulties. To put it simply, any enterprise that welcomes patrons into a structure must contend with this energy predicament.<\/p>\n<p>The energy predicament is unfolding as the UK\u2019s Gambling Act white paper continues to be postponed. The white paper, which has been under review since 2020 to modernize the 2005 Gambling Act, has experienced a series of postponements aimed at harmonizing rules and regulations with the contemporary market.<\/p>\n<p>The recent departure of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has further disrupted the procedure, with the Conservative Party now in the midst of a leadership competition to select his successor. Reports indicate that the white paper will not be released until after a new Prime Minister is appointed.<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the iGaming newsletter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Kingdom\u2019s Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) is strongly advocating for the incoming Prime Minister to tackle the skyrocketing energy costs, which could have a devastating effect on the brick-and-mortar gambling sector.
