Noted as ‘exemplary in all respects’ in the independent assessment of its methodology, the Gambling Commission’s Gambling Survey for Great Britain (GSGB) Annual Report published today illuminates the grim reality of the prevalence of gambling harms in Great Britain.
The high level of harm identified highlights the need for the urgent implementation of the measures outlined in the Gambling White Paper, such as the statutory levy on gambling operators to ensure that vital treatment and prevention services are appropriately funded.
The scale of the harm also illustrates the need to address issues surprisingly not covered in the White Paper with, not least, restrictions on gambling advertising.
Peers for Gambling Reform will continue to work with the Government and the Gambling Commission to strengthen harm reduction efforts and ensure those at risk are safeguarded from harm.”
