Ms Carol Boate:
We are notified when a game is coming to an end. Once it is approved, it is approved. I would only need to revoke it if it turned out there was a problem with the game. For example, if there was a Christmas - we keep going to Christmas but it is a popular time of year for scratch cards - game approved, it could just be reintroduced the following November or October in the run-up to Christmas. It has been approved but has been taken off sale because no one wants to buy a Christmas scratch card after 1 January.
