KYC iGaming Guide UK 2025

Today, the UK gambling industry stands as a £15.6 billion behemoth, yet it’s walking a tightrope that gets thinner every year. With online gambling alone generating £6.9 billion in gross gambling yield and over 37 million active online accounts, the market’s scale is undeniable.

On top of that, the UK’s broader push for age verification has swept across industries. Adult content
platforms now face mandatory age checks. Social media platforms scramble to verify user ages. The Online Safety Act demands age assurance across digital services.

You need verification that’s thorough enough to satisfy regulators, fast enough to keep players happy,
and smart enough to catch increasingly sophisticated fraudsters. The iGaming businesses that survive won’t be those that view compliance as a checkbox exercise.

This UK-specific guide will explore the latest trends, regulations, and an actionable verification strategy
built to withstand the reality of yesterday, today, and all the near-future tomorrows to come.
