List of organisations for operator contributions
LCCP RET contributions data
Between 1 January 2020 and 31 March 2025, operators were required to make an annual financial contribution to organisations which delivered or supported research into the prevention and treatment of gambling-related harms, harm prevention approaches and treatment for those harmed by gambling (RET contributions).
Approved organisations for RET contributions were required to send us annual returns listing the financial contributions they have received from operating licence holders.
The process for organisations who wish to be on the list for annual LCCP RET contributions
Applications to the LCCP RET list are currently paused.
The Gambling Act Review committed to introducing a statutory levy, which will come into force in April 2025 subject to the legislation. Once the levy is in force, it is likely that the LCCP RET list will no longer be relevant or needed. The Commission’s LCCP RET list will not have any bearing on whether an organisation might be in receipt of statutory levy funds in the future.
The Gambling Commission will review the situation periodically and any further updates will be provided on this page. The next review and update will take place in February 2024.
Operators are required to make an annual financial contribution to organisations which deliver or support research into the prevention and treatment of gambling-related harms, harm prevention approaches and treatment for those harmed by gambling (RET contributions). We do not specify an amount which may be contributed as this could be seen as imposing a levy, which is a power reserved for Parliament.
Being on the LCCP RET list is not a guarantee of receiving any financial RET contributions.
We maintain a list to demonstrate to operators how to be compliant with the LCCP requirement to make financial contributions. It ensures that if operators make contributions to organisations which work in other areas unconnected to reducing gambling harms in Britain, these amounts will not be considered compliant or published in the figures on LCCP RET contributions. Operators can continue to donate funds to any organisation outside of the LCCP RET list, the only change is that such contributions will not be counted as LCCP RET contributions.
There is no cost for working with the Commission to be on the list, but we recommend that organisations read the guidance on expectations and the procedure for removal.
Information requirements for approved organisations for RET contributions
Approved organisations for RET contributions are required to send us quarterly returns listing the financial contributions they have received from operating licence holders. Returns consist of a templated MS Excel Open XML format spreadsheet, a blank copy of which is sent to approved organisations after their approval. Completed spreadsheets are to be submitted to retdata@gamblingcommission.gov.uk within 28 days of the end of each UK financial quarter.
