answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2024 answer text <p>The Gambling White Paper, published in April 2023, set out the Government's intention to explore the potential for regulating types of large prize draws, which resemble society lotteries, but are not regulated as gambling products. Because these products are not regulated there is currently limited information about the sector. As stated in the response to <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-11-07/152" target="_blank">PQ 152</a>, the department has also commissioned independent researchers to gather evidence about the size and nature of the prize draw sector, including its role in charity funding, risks and player protection and understanding. The research consists of an AI-powered web scrape, together with industry surveys and operator engagement. The research will conclude shortly and will inform a consultation on potential regulation in due course.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 08/02/2024 09:30:15 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
