Gambling Law: MX Telecom releases its regulatory guide

Nov. 27, 2008 - PRLog -- The publication provides an insight into the key regulatory requirements and best practices related to the provision of mobile services; incorporating the requirements of bodies including The Gambling Commission.

Sections include Clarification of STOP Command Requirements, The Advertising of Premium Rate Services, SMS Subscription Services, Payforit, Location Based Services and Gambling Services.

Alex Moir, MD, MX Telecom said the presence of several regulatory bodies and Codes of Practice in third party mobile telecommunications have made it increasingly difficult for service providers to design and promote services which, as well being fully compliant, promote best practice and the best possible end user experience.

"We are hopeful that bringing this disparate information together in The MX Telecom UK Regulatory Guide will provide an effective source of reference for addressing these concerns amongst existing service providers. Furthermore, for those new to, or looking to enter the market, it provides a comprehensive overview of fully compliant service design and operation," said Moir.

The Guide is available to download from the MX Telecom website now, and will be re-issued in line with any regulatory developments to ensure it remains an accurate and up-to-date authority on the compliant provision of phone paid services.

MX Telecom are speakers for Bullet Business who are currently working on the 3rd Annual Legal Gaming in Europe Summit which will be taking place in London on January 26 – 27 2009. Full information can be found at www.bulletbusiness.com/legaleurope09.
