One child in every secondary school classroom has a gambling problem or risks developing one with a possible "loss of control", a watchdog has warned.
A report produced by Ipsos and published by the Gambling Commission asked 2,559 pupils aged 11 to 16 years old across curriculum years 7 to 11 to describe their gambling behaviour.
The results found that 3.5 percent of kids surveyed - one in every 29 children - had a betting addiction or were showing signs of developing one.
