The Gambling Commission published its 2026 survey of gambling among 11- to 17-year-olds in England, Scotland and Wales. It found that 74% had never gambled, while 5% said they had spent their own money on age-restricted products. The Commission said the results are self-reported estimates and help inform regulatory work to protect young people.
The findings inform operators’ protections against children accessing age-restricted gambling products.
