GambleAware publishes legacy report ahead of planned closure in UK
GambleAware has published a final legacy report ahead of its planned closure next month. It described its work commissioning gambling harm research, education and treatment through voluntary industry contributions, and warned of risks as responsibility shifts to statutory bodies. NHS England was selected to oversee treatment funding, while OHID and UKRI will take on prevention and research funding, respectively.
Operators and statutory bodies will need to account for the transfer of gambling harm funding and commissioning responsibilities.
