Half of British adults gambled in last month – survey

Almost half of adults (48%) in Great Britain have gambled in the last four weeks, according to an annual survey by the industry regulator.

Some 2.7% of adults scored “8+” on the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) in 2024 – up from 2.5% the previous year – which is “statistically stable” compared to the year before, the Gambling Commission found.
