Marcus Boyle has revealed his decision to step down as chairman of Gambling Commission after serving for over three years.
Boyle became chairman since September 2021, and led the Commission through significant industry changes including transferring the National Lottery license to Allwyn after Camelot’s 30-year hold. He has actively contributed to the implementation of the Gambling Act Review and white paper. Also, he played a vital role in designing the Commission’s three-year strategy that was launched, and it emphasized strategic investments in essential areas.
The Commission mentioned:
The board of commissioners and colleagues at the Gambling Commission have expressed their gratitude for Marcus’ leadership, dedication and contributions over the past three years. We wish him well for the future.
Baroness Twycross, Minister for Gambling, also expressed his appreciation for Boyle, praising his leadership during what she described as a “significant” three years for the Commission.
Twycross mentioned:
The past three years have been very significant for the Commission, as it takes forward measures set out in the Gambling Act Review and the start of the fourth National Lottery licence. I am grateful for Marcus’ hard work and commitment to the Gambling Commission and public service over his tenure. I wish him the best for his future endeavours.
The Commission has not provided details on when a new appointment will be appointed or announced.
