Public perception that gambling is fair and can be trusted
This information is taken from our quarterly telephone survey based on responses from those who have gambled within the previous 12 months.
Public perception in itself is not evidence that gambling is fair and can be trusted, and can be impacted by, for example, media coverage. However, it does provide an indicator of customer confidence in our regulation.
The aim of our regulatory activity is to see customer confidence increase.
