From 1 April 2026, the rate of remote gaming duty will rise from 21% to 40%, targeting the most harmful and addictive parts of the market. For remote betting, a new rate of 25% will be introduced from 1 April 2027, while bets on UK horseracing are protected and remain at current rates. This reflects the lower harm of these products and recognises the contribution of operators to the statutory horserace betting levy. These targeted increases are not just about raising revenue; they are about disincentivising harmful practices and holding companies to account.
