Starting next year, gambling operators in Great Britain will pay a levy to fund NHS services for problem gambling. Limits will be placed on stakes for online slot machines, with £5 per spin for those over 25 and £2 for 18-24 year olds. The plans were developed by the previous Conservative government and a public consultation was held to determine how the levy should be implemented. This move aims to tackle gambling addiction, especially in young adults, and ensure that resources are available to support those struggling with problem gambling.
