Operators could be facing compulsory levy under gambling review

All the focus on the forthcoming government review of gambling has been on what will happen to FOBTs but the original call for evidence published nearly a year ago was not confined to just that subject.

The review was also going to examine social responsibility measures across the gambling industry, including the impact of gambling advertising.

While the indications are a number of options are set to be offered on FOBT stakes, there has not been much speculation about what the government might do about gambling advertising.
