SO2 A fairer market and more informed consumers
Public perception that gambling is fair and can be trusted
This information is currently 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.
We are improving the way we collect data and will be launching the Gambling Survey of Great Britain in 2023. This will impact this metric in the future.
