Two Million of Britains are Gamblers

According to a report published by the industry regulator, the UK Gambling Commission, more than two million people are either addicted to gambling or at risk of developing a problem.

The 2010-update finds that the number of risk gamblers has increased to over 500,000, meaning that 3.9% of the UK’s population is classed as ‘at risk.’ Moreover, 1.4% of gamblers, which is an equivalent to a 0.8% of the total population, are classified as addicts.

Problematic gambling is more prevalent among middle-age employed males. Breaking the figures down, men, representing 66% of total gamblers, are more likely to betting than women, only 59%. Additionally, those in employment or trained tend to gamble, 69% compared to the participation among unemployed and retired, 56% and 57% respectively.

Moreover, participation was highest amongst the middle age groups and lowest within the youngest and oldest age groups.

Despite the heavy criticism that fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) have recently received, the most popular gambling activities were: National Lottery draws (46%), followed by scratchcards (23%) and other lotteries (15%).However, the document submitted by the national regulatory body points out that the types of gaming which are most likely to attract addicts are online gaming, poker played in pubs and clubs, and machines in bookmakers.

Campaigners have urged parliament to take immediate action on the FOBTs and the spreading of gambling advertising. Following this proposal, the government will soon be releasing a review in which it reconsiders new restrictions on gambling adverts and regulations on fixed-odds betting terminals.

Tim Miller, the Gambling Commission Executive Director, said: “We have a clear commitment to make gambling fairer and safer and these figures show that this is a significant challenge. Success will depend upon us, the industry, government and others, all working together with a shared purpose to protect consumers. The pace of change to date simply hasn’t been fast enough – more needs to be done to address problem gambling."

The Freeze of the Slots, Required by Sydney Council

Sydney’s Fairfield council has called on the New South Wales (NWS) government to freeze the number of slot machines (or pokies) in the area, after news emerged that A$8bn was spent on these in the 2015/16 financial year.

It says the state government regulator, the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority, should consider capping slot machine numbers in all “vulnerable” communities due to the high risk of gambling-related harm to residents.

"No public good can be achieved within communities with high levels of gambling, such as Fairfield, for any further development of the gaming industry or any additional increases in gaming revenue," says the submission, obtained by Fairfax Media.

Fairfield is ranked as one of the most disadvantaged areas in Sydney. The submission notes that 18 pubs and 20 clubs operate 3836 poker machines in the Fairfield council area.

Greens MP, Justin Field, said in a statement: “NSW has allowed de factocasinos in our local communities that are ripping billions of dollars from local people and taking a toll on families and individuals.

“The government must now play its part and give pokies-impacted communities like Fairfield support for a freeze and then reduction in machine numbers.”
