As part of iGB L!ve 2026’s Sustainable Gambling sessions, Senior Associate, Jessica Wilson, will be on the panel for the session, The Statutory Gambling Levy One Year On: Implementation vs Expectations.

Following first funding allocations of the statutory gambling levy, the session will explore what is working, what remains unresolved, and whether the new levy system can balance independence, collaboration and long-term sustainability. Key questions that will be considered include:

• What early lessons can be learned from the first year of the statutory levy system?

• How is the new funding structure reshaping collaboration across prevention, treatment, research and industry stakeholders?

• How can the sector retain specialist expertise and lived-experience insight during the transition?

• Is the current public health-led model creating the right foundations for long-term prevention and support?

• Are regional needs and emerging harm trends being effectively reflected in funding and commissioning decisions

Jessica Wilson will be speaking alongside:

Anna Davies, Compliance Director – Better Change

Dan Spencer, Principal Consultant – EPIC Global Solutions

Lee Willows, Founder & Executive Chair – Community Care Gaming
