(a) the prevention or relief of poverty, (n) the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, BetBlocker is being established to distribute the web application of the same name. This web application enables users to restrict their device from accessing online gambling sites. BetBlocker is intended to help address the growing social issue of gambling addiction by providing a physical limitation on the user's ability to access gambling services. The application will be provide free of charge to users in all geographic locations, will not include any form of advertising and will not gather user data for any purposes beyond improving the tool and assisting users with technical issues. A secondary function of the tool will allow users to place 'Parental Controls' on a device to allow parents to restrict access to age sensitive material (gambling, pornography, "freemium" apps and social media) on devices used by their juvenile dependants. This function is intended to provide concerned parents with greater control over the material that their children can access. In this manner we would seek to provide relief from the disadvantage of gambling addiction and mitigate the poverty that can be resultant.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?

From April 2016 we began to publish charities’ accounts, initially for those charities with an annual income of £25,000 or more, and for all SCIOs.

When a charity publishes its accounts on its website and has supplied us with a link, we have made this available. From late 2017, where the charity is a company, a registered social landlord or is also registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, a link is provided to the relevant regulator’s website where the accounts are made available. We accept no responsibility for the functionality, accuracy, or content of external websites – if you experience a technical issue with an external link, you should contact the charity directly.

You have the right to the following information under section 23 (1)(a) and (b) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, from the charity direct:

  • a copy of the charity’s latest statement of accounts
  • a copy of the charity’s constitution.

In addition to the above, a charity may also be able to provide you with previous years’ accounts and constitutions, although it is not obliged to do so. You can contact the charity to request this information using the contact details on the charity’s Register entry.
