Facilities for gambling and remote gambling equipment
Based on our interpretation of the Act a piece of equipment is remote gambling equipment if it is “used in the provision of facilities for gambling” and the components deployed on it perform one or more of the functions set out in 36(4)(a) to (d) (opens in a new tab).
In order to assist operators to identify their key equipment this section provides guidance on our interpretation of "used in the provision of facilities for gambling" in the context of remote gambling equipment. Under the heading ‘Remote gambling equipment’ we list those components and data that are stored on equipment that we believe meet the definition set out in the Act.
We read "used in the provision of facilities for gambling" as relatively narrow and not extending to all equipment used by a remote gambling operator generally in connection with, or incidentally to, the provision of the gambling. For example we do not consider equipment used for integrity testing, money laundering compliance and monitoring, complaints handling and responsible gambling analysis to be “used in” the provision of the gambling activity because they are not used by the customer or operator as part of that gambling. Specific examples will be set out in the following paragraphs.
