The Select Committee on the Social and Economic Impact of the Gambling Industry has published a call for evidence due to little research on issues relating to the gambling industry and individuals affected by disordered gambling. The Committee has focused its inquiry on issues including:
- the current state of the industry
- the lack of accurate estimates of the extent of the problem
- developments in gambling habits, in particular online gambling
- the ‘gamblification’ of sport
- the industry’s contribution towards research, education and treatment of problem gamblers
- whether those who need help have access to it; advertising; and lotteries.
