Ep 121: NHS to take the reins as DCMS launches RET roadmap

It’s another milestone moment for the Gambling Act review white paper as the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) consultation on implementation of the research, education and treatment (RET) levy has begun. 

Projecting that £100m will be directed towards the NHS via the initiative the RET levy, one of the key recommendations of the white paper, will be commissioned by the NHS with all mandatory operator contributions directed towards research, prevention and treatment of gambling harm.

As with numerous other white paper proposals, the RET levy will be subject to an extensive consultation, where we can expect to see charities such as GambleAware and GamCare, operators and trade bodies voice their views on this matter.

And this will be the core of our topic on Tuesday’s episode of iGaming Daily, with Ted Orme-Claye returning from his stud performance in yesterday’s episode and Conor Porter, joining Host James Ross.
