The World Tote Association (WoTA) is pleased to be able to make a submission to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) with regard to the Review of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the Review”). WoTA has not sought to answer individual questions but share information about the national and international role of pool betting, particularly in relation to supporting the horseracing and wider equestrian sector. As the UK representative member of WoTA, the UK Tote Group has made a detailed submission to DCMS addressing the specific issues raised in the Review, along with the role of pool betting within the gambling sector and its close relationship with British horseracing.
