New Zealand Problem Gambling Levy
Industry regulator, the Gambling Commission, and the Labour party have joined GambleAware in calling for a mandatory levy at a higher level, which could potentially raise more than £70m a year. In July 2004, the New Zealand Government’s Ministry of Health took over responsibility for managing the funding of, and relationships with, gambling problem support services. The funding comes from a levy on the gambling industry regulated through the Gambling Act 2003.
