Ep 701: NHS Casts Cautious Eye on Gambling Risks

In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, SBC Media Manager Fernando Noodt is joined by SBC Editor-at-Large Ted Menmuir and SBC News Editor Ted Orme-Claye as the trio unpack what the NHS England Health Survey reveals about gambling-related harm, stable headline metrics, and the growing pressure on public health systems to move from measurement to meaningful intervention.

Tune in to today’s episode to find out:

• What NHS England’s latest data really shows about problem gambling beyond the headline figures
• Why stable gambling harm metrics may still mask underlying public health challenges
• How NHS gambling harm measurements differ from UK Gambling Commission surveys and why that matters
• Whether the UK needs two separate approaches to tracking gambling harm and risk
• How the new statutory levy and NHS-led treatment framework could reshape prevention and care from April onward
