Put forward as one of several proposed regulatory changes in the recent Gambling Act white paper, the levy would be paid to the Gambling Commission. Funds generated would fund research, education and treatment (RET) for gambling harms.
A consultation on design and scope for this will take place this summer, with GambleAware and NHS England voicing their support ahead of this.
GambleAware delivers prevention and treatment services for gambling harms, including the National Gambling Support Network. It also works with and alongside a number of voluntary sector organisations, as well as the NHS, to ensure people can access services.
