Consent management
Consent and Compliance for Gambling Marketing
Consent for gambling marketing has two layers: the general law on electronic messages and the gambling regulator's own rules. These guides cover both and keep them apart, because they are enforced by different bodies.
Where to start
Start with direct marketing consent rules by market if you need to know what applies in Great Britain, the United States, Canada or Australia. It is the only page on the site that compares the four markets side by side.
For the screens players see, read consent capture and preference center design, then managing preferences across products and channels, which covers the British rule on separate opt-ins for each product and channel.
When a player changes their mind, withdrawal and opt-out handling applies. When a regulator or a customer asks you to prove a permission, audit trail patterns applies.

What these guides are not
They are research for industry professionals, not legal advice. Each guide names the rule, quotes it where the text could be read and gives the date it was read. Confirm the current position with counsel in each market before a launch.
