"What a gambling inspector does to keep gambling fair and safe"

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

A gambling inspector's job is to make sure people follow the Gambling Act 2003. You do this by checking that gambling is happening fairly and safely. This includes inspecting gambling equipment and making sure money and chips are counted correctly. You also check that gambling operators are doing the right thing and following the rules. If someone breaks the law, you investigate and take action. You work with other agencies and listen to complaints from the public about gambling. You report back to the Gambling Commission and the Secretary about your work.
