What are regulatory returns?
The Gambling Commission collects a range of information from
licence holders within the gambling industry in order to:
- monitor compliance with gambling legislation, regulations and
the licence conditions and codes of practice
- inform our understanding of the industry.
This information is provided to us, by licence holders, via the
completion of regulatory returns.
How do I make a regulatory return?
Regulatory returns should be completed through our online
regulatory returns system. Guidance is available
throughout the online
regulatory returns system.
Paper versions of the forms and guidance are available
to download in the table below. If you would like help completing a
paper form, please contact

When are regulatory returns due?
- A return needs to be completed for each type of activity for
which a licence is held. For example, if an individual holds a
licence authorising betting and bingo, two returns will need to be
completed and submitted, one for each activity.
- If a licence holder has ceased trading in any particular
activity, or has not yet started to trade, but still holds a
valid licence at the time a return is due, a NIL return must be
submitted.
- Licence holders who are required to submit annual regulatory
returns should complete and submit their regulatory returns within
42 days of their year end. You may choose to complete regulatory
returns according to your business year.
- Licence holders who are required to submit quarterly regulatory
returns should complete and submit their regulatory returns within
28 days of their period end.
- The frequency with which regulatory returns need to be
made, depends on the type of gambling business:
