Gambling policy and objectives
Laws on gambling have three objectives. These are:
- keeping gambling crime free
- making sure gambling is fair and open
- protecting children and vulnerable adults
Current UK legislations: The Gambling Act 2005.
Apart from the National Lottery and spread betting, gaming and betting is regulated by the Gambling Commission, whose duties include licensing the operators and individuals involved in providing gaming and betting facilities.
Existing Gambling Policy - Statement of Principles
The council publishes a Statement of Gambling Policy every three years, setting out how it manages gambling premises licences.
