Gambling: Advertising

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what differences there are in the legislative requirements relating to white list approval for advertising gambling services in the UK between online gambling companies based in (a) Alderney and (b) Antigua and Barbuda.
Answer

All applications for the white list were carefully considered against the Government's published criteria in consultation with the Gambling Commission, HM Treasury and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Though there will inevitably be differences in legislative requirements between jurisdictions, the overriding consideration for the Government are to ensure that each jurisdiction is able to meet the standards we require.
