"This is in addition to the industry's own voluntary Code for Responsible Gambling, which was implemented by 1 March 2014.
"We believe there is value to all concerned in taking an appropriate amount of time to embed these measures and to assess their benefit, alongside reviewing the outcome of the Responsible Gambling Trust ongoing behavioural research, due to report in the autumn.”
