answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2016 answer text <p>Since the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 came into force there have been 11 occasions where the Gambling Commission has asked payment providers to prevent payments to online gambling website operators not licensed in the UK but believed to be transacting with consumers in Great Britain. On all 11 occasions the payment provider either terminated their relationship with the unlicensed operator or took steps to ensure that the unlicensed gambling website was no longer available to consumers in Great Britain.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Gambling Commission are aware of additional instances where payment providers have, of their own initiative, terminated agreements with unlicensed gambling websites transacting with consumers in Great Britain. The Commission are unable to quantify these instances because payment providers are not obliged to report these cases unless the action is instigated by the Commission.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 21/04/2016 11:51:44 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

uin	HL7422
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2016 answer text <p>The Gambling Commission monitors this through the complaints received from customers and licensed operators, and other sources of intelligence. It is not possible to state precisely how many individual unlicensed websites there are, however, where websites are identified that are offering facilities for gambling to customers in Britain without the appropriate licence the Commission will take action to ensure they cease these activities. Since November 2014 the Commission has written to approximately 60 foreign online gambling websites, to remind them of the legal position and require them to immediately cease their activities in Great Britain.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 21/04/2016 14:02:36 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2015 answer text <p>From 1 January 2016, Video on Demand (VOD) services will be regulated by Ofcom, following an internal review to ensure the regulation of broadcast is as effective and efficient as possible, for the benefit of customers, audiences, and the industry.
