Answered by Stephanie Peacock

As set out by the Gambling Act 2005, the Gambling Commission regulates gambling in Great Britain only.

Both DCMS and the Commission stand ready to support the Crown Dependencies on matters relating to gambling if requested. The Gambling Commission has a Memorandum of Understanding on Gambling with the Isle of Man regulator, the Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC).
