Bethan Lloyd and Claire Livingstone highlight that while the Gambling Commission retains the right to challenge operators on their terms and conditions, operators themselves do not have the same privilege. Creating robust Terms and Conditions (Ts&Cs) is crucial for operators to ensure legal compliance, protect their interests, and maintain fair dealings with customers. Find out more on how Wiggin can help. https://lnkd.in/eXkdYFZg
