Data collection for the first year of the survey was conducted in 2023.</p> <p>The aims of the GSGB are to:</p> <ul> <li>collect data on a wide range of up-to-date gambling behaviours, including participation and adverse consequences of gambling;</li><li>provide a rolling programme of data collection to give the Commission the ability to gain timely insights and respond to emerging trends;</li><li>contribute to the evidence base on gambling behaviours and impacts, and help identify gaps and priorities, and;</li><li>produce and publish official statistics on gambling participation and prevalence statistics in accordance with the standards set out by the Office for Statistics Regulation in the Code of Practice for Statistics.</li></ul><p>Users should note that&nbsp;findings from the GSGB are not directly comparable with prior surveys used for gambling statistics, such as the Health Surveys for England and Scotland and the British Gambling Prevalence (BGPS) series that ran from 2007-2010 (held at the UKDS under SNs 5836, 6639 and 6843). This is because the new push-to-web methodology uses a different approach compared to the methodologies used in prior surveys, and GSGB development provides an opportunity to refresh and update questions.</p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">December 2025</span><br>A correction to the ‘Gambled in the past 12 months’ derived variables is currently being made.
