Request

I note that a press release relating to regulatory action taken against Paddy Power Betfair from October 2018 is available on your website, but the public statement referred to in the press release appears no longer to be available. Please could you provide me with a copy of the public statement?

Response

Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

In your email you have requested the public statement relating to regulatory action taken against Paddy Power Betfair from October 2018.

Public statements are only available on the Gambling Commission website for 3 years from the date of issue. However, this information is still available via a digital archive service such as The Way Back Machine:

Section 21 of the FOIA provides that information is exempt where it is reasonably accessible elsewhere; the information you have requested can be viewed here.

Please note - a link to where this information is available was provided in response to this request. However, as the link may not be accessible, they have been removed from this publication.

If you would like access to the link or an accessible version of the content please contact us.

Review of the decision

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your Freedom of Information request you are entitled to an internal review of our decision. You should write to FOI Team, Gambling Commission, 4th floor, Victoria Square House, Victoria Square, Birmingham, B2 4BP or by reply to this email.

Please note, internal review requests should be made within 40 working days of the initial response. Requests made outside this timeframe will not be processed.

If you are not content with the outcome of our review, you may then apply directly to the Information Commissioner (ICO) for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have already exhausted the review procedure provided by the Gambling Commission.

The ICO can be contacted at: The Information Commissioner’s Office (opens in a new tab), Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
