New consultation on a statutory levy for gambling operators launched
- Area of Work: The ALLIANCE
- Type: News Item
- Published: 26th October 2023
The UK Government have launched a consultation which seeks views on the structure and distribution of a statutory levy for gambling firms.
Following the review of the Gambling Act 2005, the gambling white paper published in April 2023 set out the government’s plans for modernising the regulation of the gambling sector.
One of the key proposals in the white paper was the introduction of a statutory levy on gambling operators which represents a generational shift in the funding system for research, prevention and treatment. The UK Government are consulting on proposals on the key aspects of the levy’s design, including its structure, distribution and governance. There are significant complexities around the transition to the new system and government are seeking evidence to finalise policy decisions and ensure effective action.
The consultation will close at 11:55pm on 14 December 2023. Following the closure of the consultation, the UK Government will publish a formal response to set out final decisions and reasoning before implementing the changes.
The ALLIANCE Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm programme will be working with the Gambling Harm Scottish Lived Experience Forum to formally respond to the statutory levy consultation. The ALLIANCE’s responses to previous White Paper consultations, including a maximum stake limit for online slots and changes to land-based gambling measures, can be found at the bottom of this page.
