Gambling Commission seeks financial transactions data for gambling identification.
The Gambling Commission is conducting pre-market engagement for a potential procurement of a large, ongoing dataset of anonymized financial transactions data from British adult residents. The dataset must include individual transaction details (date, time, amount, running balance, merchant name, description) and classification by Merchant Category Codes or similar. Suppliers must demonstrate a state-of-the-art gambling identification algorithm or be willing to share data with a third party for that purpose. Desirable attributes include demographic information (age, gender) and measures of gambling harm or financial wellbeing. The engagement aims to understand market capability, data access models, and indicative costs.
