Financial Penalties
Further details of individual financial penalties imposed by the Commission are published on the Gambling Commission’s public register.
Penalties are imposed on operators for breaches of regulatory requirements and vary significantly depending on the severity and nature of the non-compliance.
The year-on-year decrease of £6,277,000 is primarily due to the absence of large-scale enforcement actions in 2024 to 2025, with penalties concentrated among smaller breaches across a broader operator base.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| ECL Band | £ thousand | Number of operators | £ thousand | Number of operators |
| Small | 0 | 151 | (36)1 | 150 |
| Medium | 454 | 47 | 479 | 49 |

| Very large | 21.20 | 20.57 | 20.07 | 19.33 |
| Total revenue | 500 | 1 | 250 | 1 |
The levy is charged to operators based on their revenue band classification under the Economic Crime Levy framework.
The overall increase of £373,000 (approximately 19 percent) is primarily attributable to the uplift in the very large band rate from £250,000 to £500,000 effective April 2025. In addition, there was an increase in the number of operators classified in the large band, alongside other minor movements across the remaining bands. The total number of operators subject to the levy increased from 236 in 2024 to 239 in 2025.
References
1 The £36,000 adjustment in the Small ECL band for 2024 reflects a correction by an operator to their 2022 to 2023 self-assessment. The operator originally classified as Large but subsequently revised to Small after removing revenues not attributable to UK turnover.
