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

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to allocating a share of the statutory levy on remote gambling operators to Northern Ireland.

Wider gambling regulation is devolved in Northern Ireland and, as such, developing the most appropriate approach to tackle gambling-related harm to help residents in Northern Ireland is a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive. The Gambling Levy Regulations are subject to the jurisdiction of the Gambling Act 2005 and so profits levied in Great Britain will provide funding for projects and services in Great Britain only.

DCMS officials met with Northern Ireland officials in December 2025 to discuss a wide range of issues, including the levy.
