Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to the Gambling White paper entitled High stakes: gambling reform for the digital age, published on 27 April 2023, what her timeline is for publishing the findings of consultations on that White Paper.

Answer

Our gambling white paper set out a range of proportionate measures to tackle practices and products which can drive harm and ensure that people who are at risk of gambling harm and addiction are protected. These include new player protection checks, a stake limit for online slots games, improvements to consumer redress and a statutory levy on operators to fund research, education and treatment.

We are working with the Gambling Commission and other stakeholders to bring these measures into force as soon as possible, subject to further consultation where appropriate. The Government will publish a number of targeted consultations this summer, with the Commission also consulting on a number of priority areas, and will respond in due course.
