The long-awaited "Young People and Gambling Report" from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has finally been released after a two-year suspension caused by the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on its survey data.
Since 2011, the Commission has conducted surveys on gaming participation among 11 to 16-year-olds as a crucial evaluation of market safeguards to prevent youngsters from being damaged or exploited by gambling.
The UKGC's research team told stakeholders last month of revisions to the survey's design that would give it a stronger focus on the specific elements that have an impact on young people who are at risk or who have gambling problems.
