Gambling: Licensing
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Twycross on 17 March (HL15103), which gambling operators reported regulatory investigations or findings into other activities in other jurisdictions in (1) 2021–22, (2) 2022–23, (3) 2023–24, and (4) 2024–25.
- Answer
-
The information requested relating to gambling operators and their overseas operators could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
The Gambling Commission is responsible for regulating gambling in Great Britain. It is for operators to satisfy themselves that they are acting in a lawful manner in other jurisdictions and for authorities in those jurisdictions to investigate if they are not.
The compliance with legal requirements in overseas jurisdictions is a question for the respective judicial authorities to investigate if operators are not compliant. Where a licensee is found to be operating illegally, the Commission may consider their suitability to hold a licence to offer gambling services in Great Britain.
