Although industry donations have been increasing, previous attempts to raise funds voluntarily have garnered less than 10% of this total in recent years., which are currently under consultation, online gambling firms would pay 1% of their gambling yield to a public fund. Casinos and other physical gambling locations would pay 0.4% to compensate for their higher operating costs.
The NHS is in the process of nearly doubling the number of specialist gambling addiction clinics it operates across the country from 8 to 15 this year. Previous attempts to get companies to voluntarily pay a gambling levy have garnered much smaller sums. The government says some firms have paid less than £1 “towards research, prevention and treatment.”
A white paper published earlier this year recommended making the addiction levy mandatory, alongside other suggestions like stake limits on online bets. BGC chairman Brigid Simmons said in a statement: “Under the consultation, the vast majority of funding, between 40-60 per cent, will go to the NHS, which is currently treating less problem gamblers than the third sector.But the government says the levy will “ensure all operators contribute their fair share” and mean the industry “will no longer have a say” in how research, prevention and treatment funding is spent.
