answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2017 answer text <p>Protecting children and the vulnerable from being harmed or exploited by gambling is a core objective of the regulation of gambling in Great Britain, and a priority for the government.

These include powers to suspend or revoke a licence, impose financial penalties or launch criminal action. The Commission is closely monitoring the convergence between video games and gambling and has shown it will take action and prosecute unlicensed gambling on in-game items such as skins.</p><p> </p><p>The government published a consultation on gaming machines and social responsibility in October. This includes measures to strengthen protections around online gambling and gambling advertising. Gamble Aware will lead a major responsible gambling advertising campaign to ensure parents and children are aware of risks associated with gambling.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 22/12/2017 10:08:25 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
