Brigid Simmonds, Betting & Gaming Council (BGC) Chairman, stated: “I would like to congratulate Marcus Boyle and warmly welcome him to his new role. As part of our continued commitment to ever-higher standards on safer gambling, the BGC will continue to work with the Gambling Commission, as well as with the Government on their evidence-led Gambling Review. I would also like to thank Marcus’ predecessor, Bill Moyes, for working with us over the last two years and wish him well for the future.”

Moreover, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said: “This is an important moment for the Gambling Commission as we fulfil our manifesto commitment to undertake the first major review of gambling laws in 15 years.
