UKGC study estimates 13% perceived peer VPN use for gambling
By SectorWire desk ·
Summary
A UKGC study produced a 13% estimate of perceived recent VPN use by peers to access online gambling. Yonder surveyed 1,020 respondents aged 11–17 using indirect questions rather than asking about personal gambling. The findings do not establish actual VPN gambling or failures in licensed operators’ age checks.
Why it matters
Regulators and operators cannot treat the study’s perceived peer VPN use estimate as actual gambling or failed operator age checks.
