Gamstop reports 30% increase in gambling between 16-24 year olds

In the first half of 2023, there was a 30% increase in the number of 16 to 24 year olds using Gamstop, the UK self-exclusion program provided for online casinos and sports betting platforms.

Additionally, this particular age group made up 21% of all new sign-ups out of the 30% of users.

Overall, Gamstop had a 12% rise in new registrations across all age groups from 2022 to 2019, with 48,000 more people signing up for the service.

While March witnessed a record number of registrations, this was surpassed once more in May, the month after the release of the Government's White Paper.
