Gambling: Men
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment she has made of the impact of prediction markets on young men.
- Answer
-
In order to operate in Great Britain, any prediction market would require a licence from the Gambling Commission, the independent regulator for gambling. If approved, they would be classified as a ‘Betting Intermediary’ and subject to regulation under the Gambling Act 2005. We will monitor the potential impacts of prediction markets on all consumers including young men and consider further action if needed.
