365: Information gathering

You could also call this:

"The government can ask gambling businesses for information to help make rules and policies"

The Secretary can ask you for information if you have a licence to run a gambling business or if you conduct gambling as allowed by the Gambling Act 2003 or the Racing Industry Act 2020. The Secretary needs this information to help with research and to make policies about gambling. You might be asked for information to help calculate and collect levies and fees.

If the Secretary asks you for information, you must provide it within 10 working days, or within a longer time frame that the Secretary allows. The Secretary can decide what information you need to provide and how you should provide it. You might need to provide information regularly, such as every few months.

The Secretary will use the information you provide to make statistics, and these statistics will be made available to the public on the Department's website or in another easy-to-access electronic form. This will happen within a reasonable time after the information is collected. The Secretary wants to make sure the public can access this information easily.
