Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

The department in charge of the integrated problem gambling strategy has to tell Parliament every year how it spent the money given to it. This money is compared to the money collected from the problem gambling levy. You can think of the levy like a special fee that helps pay for things to do with problem gambling.
