GambleAware is an independent charity funding gambling treatment. It is concerned about the upcoming white paper.
The United Kingdom is reviewing its Gambling Act. Chris Philp's resignation and Boris Johnson's departure from the position of Prime Minister will delay the white paper's release. Bacta, a body representing the amusement and gaming machine industry, is concerned about any potential delays.
GambleAware is concerned about the political situation and the delay of the white paper on gambling. The charity has been one of main advocates for the introduction of a mandatory 1% levy on operators. It is uncertain whether the levy will be introduced. The UK doesn't require operators to pay a levy. Instead, operators donate to gambling treatment organizations.
GambleAware is concerned about the growing cost of living, ongoing impact of the pandemic and rise of online gambling.
