<p>We published the Review of Gambling Machines and Social Responsibility Measures
in May 2018. This set out decisive action to protect those vulnerable to harm by cutting
the maximum stake on B2 machine from £100 to £2, along with measures to strengthen
protections around online gambling and gambling advertising. These include action
by the Gambling Commission to improve age-verification controls online and introduce
tougher sanctions for breaches of advertising codes. A multi-million pound safer gambling
advertising campaign will launch this year, aimed at raising awareness of the risks
around gambling and signposting to help.</p><p> </p><p>The Review also set out action
on treatment and support for those who experience harm, including initiatives to improve
the evidence on treatment needs and effectiveness, expand access to existing services
and strengthen the voluntary system for funding support.</p>
