PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(17 April 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she plans to introduce further regulation for prize draws.

Asked by:
Dr Scott Arthur (Labour)

Answer

Large scale commercial prize draws are a significant and growing market. Whilst not regulated as a gambling product under the Gambling Act, we want people who participate to be confident that proportionate protections are in place. The department is grateful for the voluntary action taken so far by the sector to act transparently and apply player protection measures.

We want to ensure high standards across the sector. The Minister for Gambling recently met with the leading operator Omaze to discuss this work further and will meet others in the sector soon. We will update Parliament further in due course.
