The Gambling Commission’s report highlights the connection between problem gambling and certain gambling activities based оn findings from the Gambling Survey for Great Britain (GSGB).
Link Between Specific Gambling Activities and Problem Gambling
The report shows that casino products, fruit/slot games, and betting on non-sporting events are linked to higher PGSI scores, indicating a greater risk of problem gambling.
Impact of Gambling Frequency and Activity Engagement
While other activities like charity lotteries and online sports betting are associated with problem gambling, they are not directly linked tо higher PGSI scores when wider factors such as gambling frequency are considered.
The Gambling Commission report underlines the importance оf considering both gambling activities and frequency оf engagement when assessing the risk оf problem gambling. It suggests that while certain activities have stronger associations with higher PGSI scores, broader factors such as a person’s overall gambling habits also play a significant role.
