Topic - Gambling Commission

The Gambling Commission is Great Britain's regulatory body for most, but not all, gambling. It was established under the Gambling Act 2005 and assumed full powers in 2007, taking over responsibility from the Gaming Board for Great Britain, in regulating betting, bingo, casinos, slot machines and lotteries, but not spread betting (regulated by the FSA) or the National Lottery (regulated by a bespoke regulator). - Source: Wikipedia
