Largest ever survey of its kind reveals estimated 2.5% of British adults have struggled with problem gambling
The scale of harm done by gambling in Britain could be as much as eight times higher than previously thought, according to the largest ever survey into the impact of the industry.
An estimated 2.5% of British adults have struggled with “problem gambling”, according to the research. This would equate to 1.3 million people, though its authors cautioned there was a risk the data could be an overestimate.
