Bingo and Gaming
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what criteria is being used to assess the impact of (a) bingo clubs and (b) adult gaming centres on local communities.
- Answer
-
The Government uses various data sources to assess policies and impacts. This includes data provided by the Gambling Commission and the industry, a range of research findings, and feedback from a wide range of stakeholders.
The Government recognises the contributions that bingo clubs and adult gaming centres make to local communities such as seaside towns, including providing local employment and spaces where people can have fun and socialise. We will continue to work with the land-based gambling sector to mitigate the risks of gambling-related harm and strengthen player protections in venues and to support a growing gambling industry.
