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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if she will take steps in the forthcoming gambling White Paper to end online gambling via payment mechanisms other than direct debit such as Klarna and alternative payment systems.

The Government is reviewing the Gambling Act 2005 to make sure it is fit for the digital age. Our call for evidence included questions on new and emerging technologies, delivery and payment methods. We are considering the evidence carefully and will publish a white paper in the coming months.
