Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when the next Triennial Review of Gaming Machine Stake and Prize Limits will begin.

The government, along with Gambling Commission colleagues, are in the process of evaluating the regulations which came into force in April this year which required customers in bookmakers to interact either over the counter or via account based play in order to stake over £50. The last triennial review of stakes and prizes was in 2013, and the findings of the evaluation will inform the timing of the start of the next review.
