Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what plans his Department has to restrict credit card betting.
In March 2018, the Gambling Commission announced the conclusions from its review of online gambling which can be found at: http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/PDF/Online-review-March-2018.pdf
Among the changes proposed was the further protection of children by requiring licensed gambling operators to complete age-verification checks before consumers are able to access free-to-play gambling-style games. The Gambling Commission also announced that it would conduct further work to understand the risks of gambling on credit cards before consulting on options for change.
