2023/24 Supporters

Donations and pledges received between 1 April - 31 December 2023

In order to be transparent in the context of the current voluntary funding arrangements, GambleAware publishes details of donations and pledges received from those that derive an income from gambling in Britain on a quarterly basis.

We ask all those who profit from gambling to donate a minimum of 0.1% of their annual Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) to GambleAware each year; and those with an annual GGY of less than £250,000 to donate a minimum of £250. (Information on how to calculate the recommended annual contribution to GambleAware can be found here).

Total donations and pledges received by GambleAware between 1 April and 31 December of our fiscal year qualifying as RET contributions from gambling operators was £22,191,683.07. We also received £241,612.59 in Additional Donations (see description below) and £33,488,894.31 in Regulatory Settlement funding (please visit this section of our website for further information on this funding).

On behalf of all those that benefit from their funding, we would like to thank our supporters for their valued support.

* All those who profit from gambling in Britain can pledge to support GambleAware in our current year by completing, signing and returning our 2023/24 donation form.

 2023/24 Regulatory Settlements

Within the regulatory process, licenced operators may offer to make donations to socially responsible causes as part of a regulatory settlement with the UK Gambling Commission (the Commission).

A regulatory settlement is a resolution between the Commission and an operator in cases where concerns have been raised about the operator. In these instances, the Commission and the operator agree on a course of action which meets the Commission’s regulatory objectives without having to use the Commission’s regulatory powers. Where payments are made in lieu of a financial penalty as part of a regulatory settlement with the aim of addressing gambling-related harms, money can be paid to GambleAware to accelerate the delivery of the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harm rather than displacing ordinary funding.

In August 2023 the Gambling Commission agreed to direct a number of Regulatory Settlements to GambleAware for specific, agreed purposes in keeping with the Commission’s Statement of Principles. Between 1 April and 31 December 2023, £33,488,894.31 regulatory funding was received and will be used to accelerate commissioning plans such as undertaking quality improvement for existing services, supporting innovation and developing tools to help reduce gambling harm.

Additional donations: Dormant accounts, unclaimed winnings and other

Additional donations from organisations that derive an income from gambling are sometimes received by GambleAware such as donations of unclaimed winnings, dormant accounts or similar. These are not classed as RET donations derived from GGY. These donations, which amounted to £241,612.59 between 1 April and 31 December 2023 are listed below.
