British gambling prevalence surveys
What is a British Gambling Prevalence Survey?
A British Gambling Prevalence Survey is a large-scale nationally
representative survey of participation in gambling and the
prevalence of problem gambling in Great Britain.
British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2000
The British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2000 was
commissioned by GamCare to provide baseline data on adult gambling
behaviour in Great Britain. It was the first nationally
representative survey of its kind in this country and it provided
statistically robust data on adult participation in gambling plus
an estimate of the prevalence of problem gambling in Britain.
A random sample of 7,700 people aged 16 and over participated in
the survey.
British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2007
The British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2007 was
the first to be commissioned by the Gambling Commission and was
undertaken to help us understand the nature and scale of gambling
in Great Britain at a point before the Gambling Act 2005 was
implemented.
A random sample of 9,003 people aged 16 and over participated in
the survey.
Data collected by the survey also formed the basis of a range of
secondary analysis projects. The survey
data set is available from UK Data Archive.
British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2010
The British Gambling Prevalence Survey 2010 is the
third nationally representative survey of participation of gambling
and the prevalence of problem gambling in Great Britain.
It builds on the first two British prevalence surveys and
involves over 7,500 participants.
