Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report on the Accounts of the Public Services of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 19 - Exchequer receipts from National Lottery ticket sales

9:30 am

Mr. Andrew Algeo:

Yes. There is a code of practice for sales, which is published and is an addendum to the licence. It includes many aspects of the player protections in which PLI supports the retailer. There is a long list of “dos” and a long list of “do nots” backed up by mystery shopping, as well as training for all staff and the collateral necessary to display information relating to player protection in every single retail outlet.
