Online gaming is permitted in the United Kingdom. Operators may locate their facilities in the country and offer all types of online gaming including poker, sports and race betting, as well as casino games and online slots. Online gaming is regulated by the Gambling Commission as authorized by the Gambling Act 2005. Online gaming is taxed at a rate of 15%.
