Going concern

There are no current going concern issues. The Gambling Commission was set up and operates under the Gambling Act 2025. In 2013, the National Lottery Commission was abolished and its responsibilities transferred to the Commission. We carry out our statutory requirements as set out in both the Gambling Act 2005 and the National Lottery Act 1993.

The Commission holds a Reserve for prudent financial management, particularly due to the fact we are predominantly fees funded for our Gambling Regulation work, with minimal other sources of income (other income, £0.44 million). The reserves balance as at the 31 March 2025 was £10.88 million (£13.6 million, at 31 March 2024). We receive Grant-In-Aid (GIA) funding for the work we carry out in respect of the National Lottery, but this cannot be used to fund Gambling Regulation. Holding reserves enables us to be able to appropriately respond to external events, such as changes in the industry or a judicial review.
