Answer

Briefings related to the development of the regulations for the Online Casino Gambling Act will be proactively released shortly and made available on the Department’s website. I am unable to provide all information in scope of this question in the timeframe required to respond to a written parliamentary question. In accordance with the Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and therefore the expense of undertaking this exercise is such that providing an answer to the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
