ANJL survey says 45% of social-benefit recipients may shift to illegal betting
A survey commissioned by the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL) found that 45% of social-benefit recipients surveyed said they would move to illegal betting if barred from using betting platforms, the association said. Cruz Consulting conducted the poll among beneficiaries from 15 to 18 October; the government measure was due to take effect on the first of the following month.
The survey raises a risk that restricting beneficiaries’ access to regulated betting could divert some users to illegal operators.
