The Gibraltar Government has issued a Command Paper with a draft proposal to repeal and replace the Gambling Act 2005, replacing it with modern legislation better suited to a fast-changing industry.

The consultation period will last until the end of August 2022 and the Gambling Division will be engaging with consultees through workshops and direct representations, as well as receiving and analysing written submissions.

The Act will introduce a new regime for the gaming industry which is “modern, innovative and fit for purpose” for the next generation of gaming business.

It will reflect how the industry and technology have changed since 2005, when the current legislation was put in place.
