The need for review of gambling legislation was seen in light of what Britain's Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) called the inability of current legislation to deal with practical problems and issues, especially how Internet gambling poses a threat to Government revenues and to the levy on offcourse bets. In the case of the HBLB, this levy funds its achievements in improvements of breeds and advancement of veterinary science. The response by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's Review Body was to conclude that prohibition of on-line gambling by British consumers would be "entirely unrealistic", and instead there was a call for Britain to be the world leader in on-line gambling, just as it is with other types of gambling. Encouragement for British gambling operators to compete in the vast international market now goes hand in hand with the licensing and regulations of the Gambling Commission. The patronage of under-regulated, non-UK gambling sites has fallen, and the industry is said to have sufficient flexibility to respond promptly to any new technological advances.
