Using our official statistics

We publish official statistics, providing access to our statistics in a variety of formats to ensure they are accessible to all users, meeting Value 2 (accessibility) of the Code of Practice for Statistics (opens new tab).

We expect that anyone using our official statistics should present the data accurately and with integrity. This includes ensuring that the data is not taken out of context, manipulated, or presented in a way that could materially mislead others.

For the Gambling Survey for Great Britain (GSGB) we have published guidance about how to use the statistics. This is important because the GSGB is a new source of official statistics from 2024. We have also published information about the quality, methods and strengths and limitations associated with the GSGB in a technical report.

If an individual or organisation is found to be using official statistics produced by the Gambling Commission inaccurately, the Commission may contact them and request that they correct the statistics. In severe cases or continued misuse of official statistics, we may refer the individual or organisation to the Office for Statistics Regulation (opens new tab). This information may be made public.

We encourage all users of official statistics produced by the Gambling Commission to adhere to our guidance on how to use official statistics, ensuring that they are used responsibly and accurately. If you would like advice on how to use or communicate our official statistics please contact communications@gamblingcommission.gov.uk for support.
