Flutter Applauds UK Gambling Act Review, Emphasizes Customer Protection

Flutter, a leading global betting and gaming company, has welcomed the UK Government's publication of the White Paper on the review of the 2005 Gambling Act. The review, known as the Gambling Act Review (GAR), focuses on customer protection and responsible play. Flutter has been proactive in engaging with the GAR, encouraging an evidence-led approach and contributing to consultations.

One of the key measures in the White Paper is the introduction of online slot limits. A consultation will be held to determine a staking limit for online slot gaming products of between £2 and £15. Flutter has already enforced a maximum slot limit of £10 per spin since 2021, demonstrating its commitment to responsible gaming.

Another significant measure is the mandatory levy for Research, Education and Treatment (RET). Flutter, along with its partners in the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), has already committed to contributing 1% of annual revenue to RET. In 2023, Flutter has made voluntary charitable contributions of over £18m as part of its 1% annual commitment. The company welcomes the levy being made mandatory for all licensed operators.
