<p>DCMS will appoint an independent expert to conduct a review of the regulation of
the Football Index gambling product and to make recommendations to government and
the regulators. The review will take an objective look at the decisions and actions
of the Gambling Commission and any other relevant regulatory bodies to provide a clear
account of how the activities of its operator, BetIndex Ltd, were regulated, identify
if there were areas for improvement, and inform our Review of the Gambling Act 2005.
We intend to publish a report this summer and the appointment of an independent reviewer
and further details on the terms of reference will be announced very shortly. Further
information can be found in a Written Ministerial Statement on Regulation of Football
Index, available at: <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2021-04-20/hcws929"
