UK Shifts to Public Oversight in Gambling Harm Services
Recent changes in the UK gambling policy signal a shift where public institutions will now manage gambling harm services rather than independent charities. This new approach introduces a statutory levy on gambling operators to support research, prevention, and treatment services across England, Scotland, and Wales. During this transition, GambleAware will continue its current programs, ensuring that support for individuals affected by gambling remains uninterrupted until the new system is fully operational by April 2026.
