Did you know in the UK currently 0.5% of our population are considered problem gamblers and 7% of the population of the UK are negatively affected by gambling? This is over 4 million people in England and over 5 million people across the UK as a whole, which is one in 12 people either directly or indirectly affected by gambling-related harms; with numbers unfortunately ever on the increase.
