Gambling Commission proposes directing settlement payments to government
The Gambling Commission launched a consultation on 5 February proposing that future regulatory settlement payments go to the UK government’s Consolidated Fund, the regulator said. The consultation runs until 2 April and follows the introduction of the statutory levy, which the Commission says creates a risk of separate funding routes for gambling-harm work.
Operators and other stakeholders can respond before the proposed change alters how settlement payments are allocated.
