Guidance
Guidance for submitting a proposal for Regulatory Settlement funding
Guidance around submitting a proposal for Regulatory Settlement funding including what Regulatory Settlement funds are and criteria for proposals.
What you can expect from the Gambling Commission when submitting a proposal
You can expect your proposal to be judged on its merits and against the criteria set out when evaluating your proposal.
In most cases we will provide brief feedback on unsuccessful proposals at Stage one and Stage two.
Proposals can be resubmitted, however we would expect you to have addressed any feedback given before doing so.
Our published timescales are indicative and not guaranteed. In exceptional circumstances we may need to adjust timescales, but wherever possible we will inform you of any delays by email or an update on our website.
These funds come from regulatory settlements – which are unpredictable, and, as they are a product of industry non-compliance, undesirable – meaning there is not a regular funding source to put towards projects. We will pause accepting proposals if no settlement funds are available.
