•78% Informative
There is no specific offence for gambling that uses (or misuses) confidential information.
What does exist is an offence for “cheating” under section 42 of the Gambling Act 2005.
The Gambling Commission holds the view that misuse of inside information can be caught by the section 42 offence.
It is not absolutely certain whether the alleged misuse of confidential information constitutes cheating as a matter of criminal law.
The problem in practice for any such prosecution would be evidencing that a particular bet was placed on the basis of private information.
Absent an admission or unambiguous documentary evidence, that may be difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt, which is the threshold for a conviction.
