The UK Gambling Commission has warned that growing crypto use exposes regulatory gaps and new risks. Crypto raises questions about licensing, anti-money laundering controls and the exposure of younger demographics.
How urgent is the gambling Commission’s warning about crypto?
At the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) conference on 24 October 2025, CEO Andrew Rhodes said the need to address crypto is now “maybe 12 months [or] 24 months away,” after previously describing it as five years off.
This timeline signals a faster regulatory response to emerging market risks, especially where existing rules were written for fiat flows.
The Commission is calling for clearer guidance and quicker action to reduce the illegal crypto market and to shore up consumer protections. For additional background on the UK’s regulatory approach, see our article about “UK crypto innovation at risk: leaders warn on regulation and AI.
