From The Telegraph
Online gambling firms will be required to hold a licence in Britain in order to advertise and sell their games to British customers under new laws.
The Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Bill aims to give customers more protection when using online poker and other websites operated by companies based offshore.
Gambling operators based in Britain are already required to hold a Gambling Commission licence but overseas firms are currently regulated in the jurisdiction in which they are based.
Under the Bill, announced in the Queen’s Speech, all operators selling or advertising to the British market – whether from here or abroad – will have to hold a licence.
