Gambling Commission to Continue Major Survey
The Gambling Commission has confirmed it will continue publishing its Gambling Survey for Great Britain (GSGB) for an additional four years.
The Commission aims to further enhance the GSGB, positioning it as a benchmark for high-quality data and analysis on gambling behaviour across the UK.
The second annual report from the GSGB was published in October, and under the new four-year contract, the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and the University of Glasgow will carry out the research.
The Commission said the partners will “refine and enhance” the survey, which is expected to play a central role in supporting the regulator’s evidence-based roadmaps. Future work may also include longitudinal research and data linkage, enabling a deeper understanding of how gambling behaviours evolve over time.
Tim Miller, Executive Director of Research and Policy at the Gambling Commission, said:
“The Gambling Survey for Great Britain has already transformed our understanding of how people gamble, providing richer, more reliable insight than ever before.
“We are pleased to award this new contract to NatCen and the University of Glasgow, whose expertise has been central to the GSGB’s success so far.
“Over the next four years we’ll continue to strengthen the survey and expand what it can tell us—whether that’s through deeper analysis or exploring opportunities for longitudinal research. This work is fundamental to ensuring our regulation is rooted in the best possible evidence.”
