The Gambling Commission's survey shows that British public opinion on gambling is improving for the first time since the survey was initiated.
The Gambling Commission launched its yearly phone surveys in 2016. December 2021 survey gathered 4,021 respondents. For the first time since the launch of the survey, people’s responses at the poll showed a significant improvement in perception regarding gambling on a year-on-year comparison.
People's anti-gambling feelings have improved since December 2020. People's positive attitude towards gambling is also more widespread. Online gambling has increased. Only 0.3% of people are considered problem gamblers. The Betting and Gaming Council's initiatives to promote safe gambling helped to lower gambling harm rates. It is estimated that gambling harms less than 1%. It's estimated the number of problem players is 0%. It also helps to use tougher rules on VIP programs. In the UK, gambling harmed less people than before the Covid-19 pandemic.
