Welcome to the Gambling Commission’s fortnightly newsletter.
Guidance to operators for age verification test purchasing
Operators holding non remote licences are reminded that it is an LCCP requirement for test purchasing results for age verification for 2022/23 to be submitted by 12 May.
Operators holding more than one non remote operator licence are advised that results for each gambling activity must be submitted on a separate spreadsheet.
The experimental statistics phase: Gambling participation and prevalence project
Commission head of statistics Helen Bryce discusses the new approach being developed for collecting data on adult gambling participation and the prevalence of problem gambling.
This follows the Commission’s ‘Setting the Evidence Agenda’ conference last month where some of the findings from the experimental stage of the research was shared with stakeholders.
Have your say on proposed changes to Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice
The Commission is consulting on three proposed changes to our requirements on gambling businesses.
The proposals include extending the requirement to participate in the remote multi-operator self-exclusion scheme (GAMSTOP) to all licensees that make and accept bets by telephone and email, introducing an LCCP requirement to report deaths by suicide to the Commission, and a technical update to references to Payment Services Regulations.
