The UKGC has published the 2019 Young People & Gambling<\/strong> survey<\/strong> which looks at gambling trends of 11-16 year olds in the United Kingdom.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey focused on gambling and gambling style games that young people take part in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings show that 36% of children that took part in the survey say they have spent their own money on gambling in the past twelve months, while 11% of these 11-16 year olds did so in the past seven days. The numbers are slightly down compared to 2018, when they ware 39% and 14% respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common type of gambling activity that young people are taking part in is private bets or playing cards with friends for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, some of the children report buying National Lottery scratchcards in a shop, as well as playing fruit or slot machines, an activity that usually takes place in family arcades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Miller, Executive Director of the UKGC commented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Any child or young person that experiences harm from these areas is a concern to us and we are absolutely committed to doing everything we can to protect them from gambling harms.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We must keep working to prevent children and young people from having access to age restricted products.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Protecting children and young people from gambling harms is a collective responsibility and requires us, other regulators, the government, gambling operators, charities, teachers and parents to work together to make progress.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are some of the headline findings from the study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
11%<\/td>of 11-16 year olds say they spent their own money on gambling activities in the seven days prior to taking part in the survey. This is down from 14% in 2018. <\/td><\/tr>
5%<\/td>of 11-16 year olds say they have placed a private bet for money (e.g. with friends) in the past seven days, with a further 3% playing cards for money with friends in the past seven days.<\/td><\/tr>
4%<\/td>of 11-16 year olds report playing on fruit or slot machines in the past seven days. <\/td><\/tr>
3%<\/td>of 11- 16 year olds say they have played National Lottery scratchcards and 2% say they have played the Lotto (the main National Lottery) draw in the past seven days. <\/td><\/tr>
69%<\/td>of 11-16 year olds say they have seen or heard gambling adverts or sponsorship with 83% of those saying that it had not prompted them to gamble. <\/td><\/tr>
1.7%<\/td>of 11-16 year olds are classified as \u2018problem\u2019 gamblers, 2.7% as \u2018at risk, using the DSM-IV-MR-J-screen. In 2018, 1.7% of 11-16 year olds were classified as \u2018problem gamblers\u2019 and 2.2% were classified as \u2018at risk\u2019. The 2019 results do not represent a significant increase over time.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
