Recently, on 18 August 2023, the Gambling (Promotion Competition) Regulations 2023 were published. In terms of the regulations, promotional competitions are now allowed provided the promoters pay a fee, amongst other things. The duration of such promotional competitions is limited to six months, but promoters can apply for an extension. The types of awards are restricted by the regulations and if a prize winner is a minor, there is a requirement that such minor must obtain written consent from their parent or legal guardian.
