The UK Gambling Commission has detailed the fees licensees must pay under the new statutory levy aimed at generating £100 million to combat gambling-related harm. The levy was introduced to ensure that operators contribute adequately to addressing these issues, having fallen short in voluntary contributions. Baroness Twycross hailed the levy as a significant advancement for the sector. The funds will be distributed by health agencies aiming to mitigate risks, provide treatment, and support investigations, thereby building trust and transparency in efforts to reduce problem gambling.
The introduction of the statutory levy signifies a commitment to addressing gambling-related harm, aiming to raise £100 million annually to support various initiatives.
Baroness Twycross emphasized that the levy represents a pivotal move for the gambling sector, essential for enhancing support against gambling-related issues.
