Regulator of the National Lottery

The ORNL is provided with quarterly anonymised data on online game purchases. This data allows the ORNL to, on an anonymised basis: • Monitor player spend and frequency of gaming on game types • Monitor the use of the self-exclusion facility • Monitor player spend behaviour over time The Operator also provides the Regulator with quarterly Player Protection reports. These reports provide data and the Operator's analysis of player spending, including where players have repeatedly reached the online spend limits imposed by the Licence, namely €75 per day, €300 per week and €900 per month. I am formally requesting copies of these anonymized quarterly reports for all of 2019.
