Gambling Commission · 2023
This annual survey by the Gambling Commission, conducted by Ipsos, explores gambling behaviours, attitudes and awareness among 11 to 17 year olds in Great Britain. Around a quarter of young people (26%) had spent their own money on gambling in the past year, with arcade gaming machines and informal bets among the most common activities. A small proportion were identified as problem gamblers (0.7%) or at-risk gamblers (1.5%). The report also examines exposure to gambling in the home and the emotional impact of gambling on young people.
