GambleAware survey finds 30% of at-risk gamblers sought support
GambleAware’s 2024 Treatment and Support Survey found that 30% of adults who gamble and face possible problems had sought treatment, support or advice, up from 17% in 2020. The charity said prize draws such as McDonald’s Monopoly may normalise gambling, particularly for children and young people, and called for tighter advertising controls and health warnings.
The findings and proposed advertising controls concern gambling-related harm and exposure among children and other at-risk groups.
