## Checking plan

**Lawyer-led judgement**

The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

- What the AI does: From the product description, the operator's licences and its terms, extract the features of the service (type of gambling, in-play betting, lottery outcomes, credit, where it is licensed) into a table. The tool does not write the advice.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the service is a prohibited or regulated interactive gambling service, whether it may be advertised, what licence it needs, and writes the advice.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.
- Restriction: The lawyer makes the substantive assessment. Any permitted AI assistance remains supporting work with its own checks.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the service against each banned category, including online casinos, in-play sports betting, unlicensed sports betting and betting on lottery outcomes.
2. Check the advice deals with advertising and with the credit ban as well as the offer of the service.
3. Confirm the advice states whether the 2026 reforms change the answer from 1 January 2027.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
