Problem Gambling in the UK

A good deal of research has demonstrated how gambling is an increasingly normalised behaviour. It is also increasingly profitable, with UK based gambling companies making a gross gambling yield of £14.2bn between April 2019 and Mar 2020 (Gambling Commission, 2020). But despite the fact that it is becoming more widespread, more accepted and more profitable, the harms that emanate from it remain complex and often hidden.

Research into the harms associated with gambling is still scarce compared with other addictions, and receives less funding from government and the research councils. (Kings College London, 2021)

Our key objective is to promote the need for further research so there is better understanding of both the harms that are being experienced as well as possible interventions that may pre-empt or mitigate these harms.
