Introduction

This strategy sets out the high level priority work we will deliver over the next three years. It will ensure we remain flexible enough to regulate an increasingly fast-changing gambling industry. It will also help us to deliver a high quality and effective competition for the next National Lottery Licence while maintaining the current good performance of the existing Licence.

The strategy should be read in conjunction with our Business Plan, published annually, which explains how we plan to deliver our work each year. We will begin to implement the strategy from from April 2021.

We will build on the achievements and maintain the ambition of our first three-year corporate strategy. We know that our resources need to be carefully considered and planned so we can continue to deploy them effectively at pace to address emerging risks and issues. We will provide clearer and more timely evidence about the impact of our work to better demonstrate what we have achieved.

This strategy takes account of the fact that the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) (opens in new tab) has recently launched a review of the Gambling Act, which includes consideration of our power and resources to regulate. We expect the review to conclude partway through the life of this strategy, so we must balance the need to make progress while remaining flexible to adapt to the outcomes of that review.

Our strategic objectives are specifically linked to our duties under the Gambling Act and the National Lottery Act. Our determination to raise standards in the gambling market cuts across all our strategic objectives.
