Reporting of Age Verification Test Purchase Results
From the 30th August 2024 the Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice require all land based operators to undergo age verification test purchasing regardless of size of operation. Previously operators with an operating licence category of A or B did not have to undergo this requirement.
The Gambling Commission has updated its guidance notes regarding the reporting process, which confirms that licensees must send the Gambling Commission annual returns listing the aggregated results of age verification test purchasing they, or organisations contracted by them, conduct each quarter.
Test Purchase Returns must be submitted using a template Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, which is available for download from the Gambling Commission’s website. Completed spreadsheets must be submitted to testpurchaseresults@gamblingcommission.gov.uk within 42 days of the end of each UK financial year (that is, by 12 May for the year ending 31 March).
Further details and guidance can be found here.
