Managing RET contributions

How to manage RET contributions, partial returns and quarterly submissions

The Gambling Commission has received a number of queries on how the Responsible Gambling contribution should be completed for partial and quarterly submissions.

Below is an explanation of how this section of the returns should be completed, guidance will be updated to provide additional clarity.

Licensees are required to make an annual financial contribution under social responsibility code 3.1.1(2).

For partial returns if a contribution has yet to be made in the regulatory period the RET section should be completed as No. Licensees will be able to move on with the submissions by clicking the save button following the notification that the contribution is a licence requirement. During the assessment of the partial returns we will be able to identify if there is a breach for when payments were made based on previous submission.

Any RET contributions made prior to the start date of the partial return will relate to the previous years contribution requirements.

Going forward on quarterly returns licensee will only complete the RET section in the period that they make the contribution. In all other quarters this section should be marked as no in the same fashion as the partial returns.
