A 2018 Gambling Commission report found that 55,000 children and young people in Great Britain, between the ages of 11 and 16, can be classed as having problems with gambling, with an additional 70,000 individuals in this age group being at risk of developing a gambling problem.

In response to statistics such as these and growing research in the area, GambleAware commissioned Alma Economics to investigate the inequalities, vulnerabilities, and risk factors surrounding children and young people’s experience of gambling-related harms.

We utilised a Rapid Evidence Assessment methodology to review the evidence base. Our resulting report and evidence map provide a comprehensive overview of the evidence base, gaps, and areas for future research.
