Ep 312: UKGC wisdom in short supply, statistically speaking

The UK Gambling Commission has published its first-year statistics and datasets of the Gambling Survey for Great Britain for 2023. 

Replacing the previous datasets provided by the NHS on problem gambling prevalence, the survey is a key directive of the commission, which in 2021, launched a pilot programme to re-model how data is collected on adult gambling participation and problem gambling prevalence statistics. 

And this will be the topic of today’s episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, where James Ross is joined by Melanie Ellis, Partner at Northridge Law, to talk about the new survey and key highlights from the data provided.
