GambleAware plans to close as UK introduces statutory gambling levy
GambleAware said it will close on 31 March 2026, following the introduction of a statutory gambling levy in the UK. It will maintain existing commissioning agreements until the replacement system becomes operational in April 2026, when its functions will transfer to the UK government and commissioners in England, Scotland and Wales.
Operators and commissioned services face a transition from voluntary donations to mandatory industry contributions.
