The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced it is writing to a number of online gambling firms regarding terms and practices that may place obstacles in the way of withdrawals, both inside and outside of promotions.
The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) Programme Director Ian Angus said that the UKGC backs the investigation which has been initiated and conducted by the CMA.
