They are obliged to do it under the Remote Technical standards. This is the 38 page PDF:
http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk...-standards.pdf If you want to find the relevant bits I suggest a search on the word "cheat".
FYI the wording is a bit odd, it shifts between information that must be made available to customers and information to the regulator in a potentially confusing way. There were some guidelines on the information required in the consultation for the changes (shown in green). They also promised further guidelines but I have not chased them up seen them.
The information provided to the regulator is treated as commercially sensitive and not released directly OR it is seen as relevant to a criminal investigation and so again not released. Both are valid reasons to refuse FOI requests too so it is no surprise that these reports are not "news" - they are confidential reports required by the regulator.
I am still giving them some time to get a picture of what info they are getting before engaging with them again about how consolidated information can be made available to the consumer, as they do with other gambling data.
My hope is that a routine report of totals will become available one day and that the sheer scale and value of the reports helps the UKGC realise that action including prosecution is required...but no it is not news, it is a reporting requirement for UK licenced poker sites (all the decent ones).
