The UK Gambling Commission has released a report that finds certain gambling formats have elevated risks and can create problem gamblers, even after considering frequency of play and a player’s age, sex and socio-economic background. The research largely supports previous results from the GSGB.
The 6 February-dated report, another specialist deep dive into results from the Gambling Survey for Great Britain (GSGB), sought to explore the relationship between gambling activities and Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) scores.
In its initial release of GSGB data in July 2024, the GC noted in-person betting on “non-sports events” represented the vertical with the highest average proportion of high-risk players (PGSI score of eight or higher).
