(UK).-British MPs are set to soon raise the minimum age for online lottery games to 18 as part of a wider gambling overhaul that is currently under works.

UK Government to announce new minimum age for lottery games

An announcement about the new lower limit for lottery gambling is expected to be made in the next few weeks, The Times reported Sunday.

The current minimum age for playing lottery games online is 16. This means that teenagers aged 16 and 17 can spend as much as £350 a week on online lottery games such as Fruity £500, Treasure Temple, and Bingo Millionaire. These and many more games are provided by the National Lottery, which is currently run by Camelot.

Senior sources in Whitehall told The Times that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s senior adviser, Dominic Cummings, and the Director of the Number 10 Policy Unit, Munira Mirza, have taken personal interest in the matter.

As mentioned above, the new minimum age for online lottery products is part of a wider set of reforms that British MPs currently prepare to roll out in a bid to reduce young and vulnerable people’s exposure to gambling products and gambling-focused advertising content.
