Offshore remote betting operations have not hitherto been licensed by the Gambling Commission. This means there is currently no centrally collected and publicly available comprehensive dataset of offshore remote operator profits on which to base an estimate. This will change once the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act comes into force on 1 November. We expect the Gambling Commission will be including data from remote offshore operators in their Industry Statistics<\/em> from 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the Government\u2019s recent consultation Extending the Horserace Betting Levy<\/em>, we noted that any estimates of potential additional yield extrapolated from published information such as some company accounts would necessarily be \u201cbest guesses\u201d and could only be indicative, not least because the remote gambling market is growing very quickly. We said that the range of \u201cbest guesses\u201d ran from £10m to £30m p.a. and sought estimates of potential additional levy yield from respondents assuming the rate of collection remained at 10.75%. Such estimates as were received in consultation responses generally fell within that bracket. The government will be publishing its response to the consultation in due course.<\/p>
