Supporting regulator

hey enable national regulators to be specified as ‘supporting regulators’, meaning they can have a statutory role in Primary Authority partnerships. Supporting regulators can support Primary Authorities as they develop advice and guidance for businesses.

As a supporting regulator, we will continue to participate in Primary Authority schemes as we do now, free of charge and can advise on national inspection strategies, in addition to our broader role of providing advice to licensing authorities.

We will handle any application to be designated as a formal supporting regulator for this area on a case by case basis. This may involve a fee if the application leads to a formalised supporting regulator agreement.

If you are a Primary Authority or business in a Primary Authority scheme who wishes to discuss our potential involvement as a supporting regulator please contact us at: betterregulation@gamblingcommission.gov.uk
