UKGC responds to statistical review of Gambling Survey for Great Britain
The UK Gambling Commission responded to an Office for Statistics Regulation review of its Gambling Survey for Great Britain, acknowledging scope to improve the survey while defending its value. The OSR said more work was needed to address recommendations from Professor Patrick Sturgis and to explain uncertainty in the estimates; the UKGC said it would continue improving the survey and public confidence in its statistics.
The review and the UKGC’s response affect how regulators and policymakers assess the survey’s gambling statistics.
