The Jersey Gambling Commission (JGC) regulates gambling activities in the Bailiwick of Jersey, operating as an independent public policy office within the United Kingdom’s sphere. Established in 2010, it maintains regulatory authority through licensing, funding itself via licence fees, and guiding the transition to a modern regulatory framework established by the Gambling (Jersey) Law 2012, which took effect in early 2013. The Commission develops licensing frameworks for various commercial gambling activities after publishing policy statements, enabling it to respond to evolving business and technology developments. It collaborates closely with the Government of Jersey, particularly with the Locate Jersey team in the Economic Development Department, to support regulatory inquiries and the establishment of gambling-related entities on the island. A recent development noted is the departure of its chief executive and the election of a new chairman within the broader regulatory community. The organization is based in Jersey, with a small staffing footprint, and serves licensees and prospective gambling operations seeking regulatory clarity and compliance.
