Author: Ipsos, Clearview Research Published: March 2023

Summary

This Ipsos UK report explores gambling behaviours and harms amongst minority communities in Great Britain, based on a survey conducted in 2022 for GambleAware.

Topics covered

  • prevalence of gambling and gambling harms amongst minority groups
  • experiences of racism and discrimination related to gambling
  • stigma and attitudes towards gambling
  • access to and barriers for gambling support services

Key findings

Minority groups gamble less but experience more gambling harms than White British people. Experiences of racism and discrimination are linked to higher gambling harm and stigma around gambling is stronger in minority communities. 

There is low awareness and use of gambling support services amongst minority groups, with stigma being a key barrier to accessing help.
