The Island's gambling regulator has published feedback about proposed changes to the Island's laws.

On its website, the Gambling Supervision Commission says it received comments from 15 sources about the draft GSC Bill which is due to be considered by Tynwald.

Concerns were raised about powers to enter private homes and probe unlicensed software businesses as part of its investigations.

It says the new powers would be used proportionately, and it will now press ahead with the draft amendments in the consultation.
