Contributions | Are contributions made? | Licensees must make an annual financial contribution to one or more organisation(s) which are approved by the Gambling Commission, and which between them deliver or support research into the prevention and treatment of gambling-related harms, harm prevention approaches and treatment for those harmed by gambling (LCCP Code 3.1.1). Select the appropriate option (Yes or No) to whether you have made a contribution during the period relating to this regulatory return. |
Contributions | Contributions made via trade body | If you are a trade association or body member and your contribution was made through them please select ‘Yes’. If you are not a member of a trade association or body member, or you are but that body does not make a contribution then select ‘No’. |
Contributions | Trade body | Please state the name of the trade body that made the contribution on your behalf. |
Contributions | Value of contribution | Record the value of your contribution. If you have apportioned your contribution across a number of sectors you should record the amount relevant to the licensed activity covered by the regulatory return. That is, if your business completes more than one regulatory return, your RET contribution should be divided between the different sectors and recorded in the relevant returns. Do not record the company’s total contribution in full on each regulatory return - only complete this section in the period that you make the contribution. In all other quarters this section should be marked as ‘No’. |
Contributions | Date of contribution | Enter the date the contribution was made. |
