DCMS minister backs gambling-sector growth alongside consumer protections
UK minister for gambling Baroness Twycross said the government intends to support the gambling sector while pursuing reforms to improve consumer protection. At the Gambling Reform Summit, she said independent oversight would guide statutory levy funding and that governance arrangements would hold the responsible commissioners to account during the transition to the new system.
The proposed levy governance will shape how funding is distributed and overseen across the UK’s gambling-harm response.
