Areas of strategic focus

For the period 2024 to 2027, we are prioritising these 5 areas for strategic focus, alongside our ongoing core regulatory work:

1. Using data and analytics to make gambling regulation more effective.
2. Enhancing our core operational functions.
3. Setting clear, evidence-based requirements for licensees.
4. Being proactive and addressing issues at the earliest opportunity.
5. Regulating a successful National Lottery.

Delivering on these commitments, as well as our core regulatory functions, is dependent on cross-cutting enablers relating to our people, effective stakeholder engagement and resources.

We set out our key achievements under each strategic focus during 2024 to 2025. It is important to note that while there are distinct projects relevant to a particular strand, there is also considerable crossover between them. For example, our work on data and building our evidence base has fed directly into our work to improve our core operational delivery and our implementation of gambling reform.
