Answer
Operators providing gambling facilities to customers in Great Britain must be licensed by the Gambling Commission and comply with the conditions of their operating licences. The Commission expects them to obey the laws of all other jurisdictions in which they operate, and requires them to report any regulatory investigation or finding into their activities in any other jurisdiction. Operators must inform the Commission if they have a substantial customer base outside of Great Britain and state why they consider they are legally able to offer facilities to those customers.
