Written Question
Gambling: Regulation
Thursday 27th April 2023

Asked by: Mark Fletcher (Conservative - Bolsover)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

What recent assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of gambling regulation.

Answered by Lucy Frazer

Today we have published our white paper on the Gambling Act Review which sets out a wide-ranging, proportionate package of reforms to ensure the regulatory framework is fit for the smartphone age and the right protections are in place to protect the public from gambling-related harm. The suite of proposals strike a balance between respecting the choices of people who gamble safely, and ensuring those that are at risk of gambling harm and addiction are protected and safeguarded.
