It&#8217;s a tax that would be very simple to raise and expend on other matters in the future.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Simon is also eager to emphasize the positive impact of wagering establishments on local commerce, noting that &#8220;89% of patrons who frequent these shops also make purchases at other businesses in the area. A vibrant high street requires a diverse mix of retail and entertainment options.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This report carries significant weight, as it is anticipated to have a substantial impact on the UK gambling landscape, potentially resulting in the implementation of revised legislation and regulations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brigid Simmonds, the leader of the United Kingdom&#8217;s Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), recently countered arguments for a fresh levy on wagering businesses to finance addiction initiatives.
