Summary

This report by GambleAware outlines key research findings that informed our National Gambling Treatment Service campaign. It summarises data on gambling prevalence, harms, and treatment needs in Great Britain to provide context for the campaign.

Topics covered

  • prevalence of gambling harms in Great Britain
  • effectiveness of the National Gambling Treatment Service
  • barriers to accessing gambling support services

Key findings

While the National Gambling Treatment Service is highly effective for those who access it, only a small fraction of those who could benefit currently do so. Key barriers include:
  • lack of awareness about available support 
  • concerns about stigma
The campaign aims to address these issues and encourage more people to seek help.
