Regulatory Authority
The Isle of Man regulator of all gambling activity is the Gambling Supervision Commission, an independent statutory board established in 1962. The Commission has an Inspectorate which is managed by its Chief Executive with the Commission comprising of five independent members of the public, who are appointed by the Isle of Man Treasury. Typically, the Commission sits once a month to consider regulatory matters and licence applications.

Regulatory Approach
The Commission adopts a hybrid model of prescriptive regulatory requirements combined with risk-based oversight. The statutory framework of gambling legislation and underlying regulations provides the skeleton upon which the inspectorate monitors the activities of the operator through regular compliance reporting and active contact and interaction with the operator and its key staff.
