Senet Group declares support for statutory levy plans in UK

The Senet Group, an independent body set up to promote responsible gambling standards, said if it were to aid in tackling issues concerned with gambling it would extend its support to a statutory levy in the UK.
According to the current media reports, UK gambling companies could face a statutory levy, with this to replace the National Responsible Gambling Strategy.
Voluntary funding for research, education, treatment (RET) of problem gambling and related concerns is the basis of current system. The Remote Gambling Association last month urged the UK government to look at a statutory levy, saying that the current system is “no longer fit for purpose”.
The Senet Group also said that it would also aid the plans, if it became obvious that this was the “only way to generate the money needed for work across the RET agenda”.
Senet Group chair Gillian Wilmot said: “The Senet Group is committed to working in partnership across the industry to raise standards and improve player protection.”
“Our responsible gambling messaging, ‘When the Fun Stops, Stop’, seeks to educate and inform players and their families and friends about moderation when gambling.”
“Our campaign has over 80% recognition rates and evidence shows that it changes behaviours for the better; this is a significant element in the range of activities delivered under the ‘Research, Education and Treatment’ banner.”
“If a statutory levy on gambling businesses is the only way to generate the money needed for work across the RET agenda, then this change has our support.”
“Senet can play a valuable role in delivering research and education messaging which creates player behavioural change and reduces the risk of problem gambling.”
