Payment of LCCP RET contributions

Following the announcement of the introduction of the statutory levy, we consulted on a proposed change to our Licence Conditions and Code of Practice (LCCP) to remove the requirement for licensees to make a voluntary annual financial contribution to one or more organisations.

As of 31 March 2025 licensees are no longer required to make annual financial contributions to research, prevention and treatment under the LCCP as the statutory levy has been introduced.

Please note that any future voluntary contributions you make to bodies that conduct research, prevention and treatment will not count towards your statutory levy and the statutory levy invoice must be paid in full.

You can read more about this change including the final wording of the provision in the Removing obsolete Gambling Commission requirements due to the government's upcoming statutory levy - Consultation Response published February 2025.
