The Charities Act 2009 has been amended to redefine "exempt activity" under Section 93(a)(ii). Notably, paragraph (b) now permits the collection of funds during relevant gambling activities for charitable or philanthropic aims, as stipulated by the Gambling Regulation Act 2024. This provision specifies that such gambling activities must operate under a designated gambling licence and in accordance with Section 120(3)(b)(ii) of the Act, or collect funds via a lottery following Section 92.

This amendment will take effect concurrently with the initiation of Section 10 of the 1956 Act, enhancing clarity for compliance in fundraising through regulated gambling activities.
