Gambling Regulation Bill published

Launching the Bill at Government Buildings

I was pleased to launch a new Bill on gambling regulation with Government colleagues, which places a particular focus on protecting people who are vulnerable to problem gambling.

Gambling apps, websites, social media & gambling ads have made children and young people more exposed to gambling ads than ever.

This new law will ensure that where gambling is advertised, it is done in a way that minimises harmful influences to young people.

This is a comprehensive piece of legislation which will protect individuals and families from the risks associated with gambling addiction. For full details on what is included in the legislation, you can read the press release.
