Gambling CEO highlights misuse of statistics by media

Following the publication of the UK Government's White Paper, the CEO of the Gambling Commission wrote an open letter addressing the coverage of gambling.

The CEO claims that the Commission has seen a significant number of organizations in the media mishandle statistics.

Statistics regarding the prevalence of problem gambling in the UK, in particular, have been notably inaccurate.

The confusion between problem gambling and gambling-related harm—two distinct problems—has emphasized this.
