Strategic Focus 1: Using data and analytics to make gambling regulation more effective

Regulation must keep pace with industry and societal developments. Improving our data maturity and evidence base by investing in technology, improvements in data analytics and consumer research will ensure regulation remains fit for purpose.

We have identified our priority evidence gaps to be filled in our Evidence Roadmaps and will be using these as the framework for progressing and commissioning work under the Levy, this includes:

  • continuing to establish the Commission as a commissioner of Levy funding for research to fulfil our role as set out by Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), and accelerate delivery of further regulatory research in line with the licensing objectives and our Evidence Roadmaps
  • investing in the development of a data science environment to improve our capability to apply data science to inform policy development
  • expanding our Regular Feed of Operator Core Data (ROCD) pilot
  • expansion of the internal use of open banking data analysis to include unlicensed gambling and compliance work
  • explore opportunities to expand the range of data we use to target compliance activity.
