Our approach to statistics and research

As an evidence-based regulator we provide advice to the government about gambling behaviour in Great Britain.

We collect and analyse data to monitor changes that may have an impact on the regulatory framework and publish official statistics alongside other gambling related research in line with our evidence roadmaps.

We collaborate with local and international researchers and organisations to help develop our understanding of gambling behaviours.
