This gathering offers a fantastic occasion to pay tribute to the remarkable contributions of our former service members. The event will generate funds for several military-affiliated charitable organizations, and the UKGC is sponsoring a designated race to benefit the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre.  Numerous veterans are anticipated to attend as our esteemed guests throughout the day. The UKGC and its affiliates are dedicated to assisting veterans and organizations supporting the armed forces, having contributed nearly \u00a3750,000 to these vital initiatives over time.  Brigid Simmonds OBE, Head of the UKGC, remarked: \u201cAs a former Captain in the WRAC, I am genuinely pleased that the UK Gambling Commission can again financially support Armed Forces Day at Leicester Racecourse this week, which presents a wonderful chance to honor the UK\u2019s extraordinary veterans\u2019 community.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The British wagering sector, generating approximately \u00a3380 million annually for equestrian sports through financial backing, broadcasting agreements, and fees, showcased its dedication to ex-service personnel by supporting a dedicated Remembrance Day function at Leicester Racecourse. This endeavor was spearheaded by the Gaming and Betting Council (GBC). <\/p>\n<p>The GBC has been rather outspoken recently concerning updated regulations, specifically the suggested wager limitations for digital slot machines.  While highlighting their commitment to safeguarding players, they advocate for a measured strategy, warning against unforeseen repercussions that could stem from excessively strict regulations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) is delighted to declare its financial backing of the second yearly Armed Forces Day at Leicester Racecourse on March 8th.
