The Government levies duties on gambling operators based on their profits, including from sports betting. The Government also invests millions into grassroots sport facilities, with the majority of support coming through Sport England, which receives over £100m in Exchequer funding each year. A further £205m has been committed to grassroots facilities between 2022 and 2025. While the horserace betting levy recognises the unique relationship between horse racing and betting, other sports have far broader appeal.

The government launched its Review of the Gambling Act 2005 on 8 December with the publication of Terms of Reference and a Call for Evidence. The Review is wide-ranging and aims to ensure that the regulation of gambling is fit for the digital age. The Call for Evidence included questions on the need for changes to the system of consumer redress, the appropriate mechanism for recouping the societal and regulatory costs of gambling and on barriers to high quality research. We will publish a white paper setting out our conclusions and vision for the sector in due course, and this will include an indication of how any changes will be implemented, whether by legislation or other means.<\/p>
Public Health England\u2019s review will be a valuable contribution to our Gambling Act Review and we are considering it carefully. Alongside the Review, we will work with the Department of Health and Social Care and key stakeholders to address the knowledge gaps identified in the evidence review and improve data collection more broadly.<\/p>

The government currently has no plans to introduce a requirement for gambling operators to pay a fee or levy to sports clubs and has not had discussions with football clubs about developing commercial opportunities.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> The Review of the Gambling Act 2005 was launched on 8th December with the publication of a Call for Evidence. As part of the broad scope of that Review, we have called for evidence on the benefits or harms of allowing operators to advertise and engage in sponsorship arrangements across sports, esports and other areas. The Call for Evidence will remain open until 31 March, and no policy decisions have yet been made. We intend to set out conclusions, including any proposals for change, in a white paper later this year.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}

The response was published on 17 May. The Review looked at protections across the gambling industry and support for those who experience harm, including the arrangements for funding support.<\/p> <\/p> GambleAware is the leading charity commissioning research, education and treatment, and currently asks operators to donate 0.1% of their Gross Gambling Yield (GGY). Most do, with GambleAware receiving £9.4m in 2017/18, up 16% from the previous year. Industry also made donations to other bodies supporting research, education and treatment, bringing industry\u2019s collective support for RET to above 0.1% of its GGY.<\/p> <\/p> We want to see an effective and sustainable voluntary system, with improved coordination and better understanding of what measures are most effective to ensure future funding increases will be spent in the most effective way. Our response outlined a number of initiatives that continue to improve the current system, increasing access to services and strengthening the evidence base.<\/p> Each year, the Minister for Public Health writes to PHE setting out the organisation\u2019s strategic remit and priorities for the next year. For 2018/19, PHE is explicitly committed for the first time to action on gambling-related harm. As a first step, Government has asked PHE to carry out a review of the evidence relating to the public health harms of gambling.<\/p> <\/p> The Government does not consider that introducing a statutory levy is necessary or appropriate at this stage.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p>"}
