The gambling prevalence rate in the UK is constantly growing, with studies showing that gambling among the youth is an increasing concern. According to statistics, the share of gambling participants in the UK between the ages of 16 and 24 in 2016 was 38.1%. In 2019, the share stood at 40.4%, showing that the same age group had increased its participation rate in just 3 years.
A study carried out by the UK Gambling Commission in 2020 reveals that the Covid-19 pandemic seriously impacted the youth of the country as schools were forced to close down during the peak of the coronavirus cases in the country. While the study covers the participation of young people in different legal forms of gambling, it also includes data on participation in age-restricted gambling activities.
