NCPG survey finds 27% fewer adults report repeated problematic gambling behaviour
The National Council on Problem Gambling’s NGAGE 3.0 survey found nearly 20 million US adults reported at least one problematic gambling behaviour many times in the past year, down from 27.5 million in 2021. The survey covered more than 3,000 adults between January and March 2024 and found online gambling participation rose from 15% in 2018 to 22% in 2024.
The findings provide operators and policymakers with US evidence on gambling-related risk and participation trends.
