Gambling Act 2003

Preliminary provisions

5A: Meaning of net proceeds

You could also call this:

"Money made from gambling after costs are taken out"

Illustration for Gambling Act 2003

When you hear the term "net proceeds" in the context of the Gambling Act 2003, it refers to the money made from gambling after certain costs are subtracted. You calculate this by adding up the total amount of money from the gambling, including any interest earned, and then subtracting the costs of running the gambling operation. These costs include things like taxes, licence fees, and the cost of complying with the law, as outlined in section 108 and section 116, as well as any payments made under regulations made under section 371(1)(dd).
