Topic: The Gambling increase due to the pandemic, stats, UK - page 6. (Read 664 times)
I want to know if this survey is all about the increase of gamblers in physical casino or in general including the online gamblers. My concern was due to Pandemic, I believe UK might reduce there Casino player capacity to minimize the virus transmission. I don't know if UK does this for virus prevention but I think the increase on gamblers is more on online casino which should be point out on the article.
Probably that is the new normal, especially due to the pandemic most part of the world pushed themselves under lockdown to contain the spread of coivd which reduced the entertainment availability so people went with the available choice and gambling is one of them so there is no wonder though.
Now why the evaluation of data is important?
-It might provide an insight into how the government's laws are changing the way people Gamble. Which can be used to do research on various matters like gambling Addiction.
It can not only be used by companies but government itself to provide better laws.
- 63% gamblers noted an increase in time spent gambling.
- 62% said their gambling habit remained the same despite the laws being more losse for some areas
- 12% reported an increase in their gambling habit
With the rise of gambling comes the rise of gambling addiction. If this statistics are verifiable, the government should do something about it. Prevention is always better than cure. Efforts should be initiated in advance in order prevent gamblers from falling into addiction, a point of no return unless professional intervention is sought.
It is bothersome to note that while 57% of everyday gamblers want to curb their vice, a very high 42% of them don't know how to go about it. These are the real gamblers, the one who are more prone to addiction. The government should be proactive in providing these people appropriate services.

Gambling could be for know it alls who overthink everything. Those who always want to be right about everything. Gambling could be one career option those personality types are well suited for. Demographics who don't mind spending hours analyzing games and breaking down scenarios, to recognize consistent trends which can increase chances of winning at gambling. There are a small and select group of people who can consistently win at gambling.
The majority who view gambling as an avenue to easy money. Or escape from having to think about things, might not be as profitable over the long term.
It might be accurate to say, most who are determined not to think about things. Would have a very difficult time gambling successfully. It is an area that requires knowledge and critical thought to predict the correct outcome.

Last year, there are already lots of reports about the UK noticeable seeing an increase of people doing gambling especially around 18 years old. It's not surprising with the current stats.
What I want to see is, now that most countries allowed most leisure activities, it might gives an impact on a decrease in the number of people doing gambling there.
The only ones who remained at gambling are those who are already gamblers before the pandemic.

Fact, no lie's about this one.
I want to use a close friend and I as a case study,we had too do whatever we could to make and stack up our pence.
Down my ends, the grown did more of Gambling than the younger, you'd see someone old enough to be your Grandpa Gambling I got moved and motivated if they would I can at my young age, although I had my limit say standards and followed them.
This survey or study happen in UK, but I am feeling this is true for many other countries as well, but sadly we have not authentic statics because I live in country where gambling is not allowed but during pandemic we have too many peoples involved in this and lost some good amount even they were not on jobs or having other activity, so this was excellent for them to spend time.I want to use a close friend and I as a case study,we had too do whatever we could to make and stack up our pence.

Living inside home with nothing is really difficult, so mostly peoples were doing gambling and some different things related to this which help them in this all pandemic. Now after end of this mostly peoples going back as normal and have nothing special with this all, very few still doing this all fun.
In other words, this shows that the European region, especially in the UK, is really a gambling-populated country even prior to the pandemic. Obviously, while everyone is lurking at home, we can notice that gambling activity there will increase its numbers whatever the category.
Yep, while the majority of the people not just in the UK are staying at home. There has to be an activity that they have to do to just bear with the sets of lock down and staying at home.For those that preferred to have fun while staying at home, there are a lot of stats that showed that since last year, gambling has increased. It's not surprising while majority of the workforce have remained at home, there's still money to many of them that they can spend with through online casinos.
It can not only be used by companies but government itself to provide better laws.
- 63% gamblers noted an increase in time spent gambling.
- 62% said their gambling habit remained the same despite the laws being more losse for some areas

On the other hand, they also conducted a survey for those people who want to minimize their gambling activity and the results are:
- 43% by casual gamblers
- 57% by regular gamblers
It means that while the world is slowly going back on its business, people also slowly coming back to their main and usual activity that's not limited to gambling mostly.
The pandemic have been an extremely stressful event for the world and most people are having problems regarding jobs, money or something else or the other. The government has started implementing regulations in a way that it would not only profit them, but they are also gaining a lot of money from various activities and on the top we have Gambling.
I hope this article can provide an insight for the safe gambling awareness week and could highlight the main events that we might have to encounter and understand.

It has become a scapegoat for many gamblers, many gamblers are allocating their time in gambling, their jobs, and other things that they can do outside like watching movies and going to their favorite place to eat or just strolling outside since some of these activities are taken out because of the lockdown they have nothing to turn to but playing online in the casino, it's a like a prison where you have limited access to what you can do and you turn to something that can give a scapegoat to what you've been missing.

I feel little ambiguous here; what is the difference between more time spending for gambling and increased gambling habit. Probably those 63% of gamblers are already into gambling but due to pandemic they find themselves to be gambling more than before and the 12% of people may not be the regular gamblers but they get more gambling habits due to lockdown/isolation reasons.- 62% said their gambling habit remained the same despite the laws being more losse for some areas

I am sure that after medical and other related sectors, gambling must be one of the prominent field which got big boom in last 18 months of pandemic. Moreover, not sure how many of us going to be more severally gambling in near future because the habit we picked up during the pandemic times.
I didn't see anything that differentiates the word "spending more time in gambling" and "increased gambliing habit" in the OP, but let's try to spot the difference between the two phrases.
Spending more time in gambling means, exceeding what was his usual time spent for gambling and that could only mean he usually gambles with the same type of game.
While increased gambling habit means, involved into different kinds of gambling activities such as sports betting, casino games, and other form of betting which was also out of his usual gambling activities before the pandemic.
Nevertheless, these has been very common especially during the peak of the pandemic where online gambling became the mainstream getaway for the casino lovers.
Its a personal problem because you are the ones who do make such action and they wont really be blaming out those institutions out there because of that and you havent forced to play on the first place and also talking about increase due to pandemic then it isnt surprising because we do even have more free time on engaging on online things including gambling and for sure this isnt really just talking in
UK but also in other countries as well but the havent been tallied up until now which i do really believed that theres still more out there.
This is actually a very common problem.
agree with you that this problem is not only happening in the UK but also in other countriesUK but also in other countries as well but the havent been tallied up until now which i do really believed that theres still more out there.
This is actually a very common problem.
btw, It is true that gambling addiction is a personal problem but it is natural for the government to provide health facilities for addicts to treat their citizens' opium, especially gambling addiction, it is an obligation because citizens have paid taxes
really in big problem.For some people it might really sound nor look being a stupid move because this is something a personal kind of choice on making such action which leads them on being addicted.
If they had attained this problem then they are the ones who would need to solve out but honestly having these kind of benefits or something like this is such a great help on
a problem which is focused on this one.

That is quite expected! Common people with some love for gambling, utilized their new found time by gambling online. That's why we have seen a number of new online casinos started their operations during the pandemic. I believe even people with stressed financial condition, tried their luck on gambling to change their financial condition.
Back in early 2020, I also read about some land based casino group were planning for providing an online experience through VR so that gamblers can play from their homes.
In a nutshell, pandemic time was a net positive for the online gambling market.
There are many studies that indicate that during the pandemic the rate and the strength of all kind of addictions have gone up significantly during that period of time, I think of this as a form of escapism, people were so stressed about the reality they were experimenting that they did what they could to get their minds out of the worry the pandemic caused on them.Back in early 2020, I also read about some land based casino group were planning for providing an online experience through VR so that gamblers can play from their homes.
In a nutshell, pandemic time was a net positive for the online gambling market.
And some people used gambling for this purpose, unfortunately this means that some of them lost control of their gambling and instead added even more stress to their lives, and since the pandemic is sill ongoing I do not see this being solved anytime soon.
I remember there used to be a similar topic about the increase in gambling activity and some gamblers even turned to other forms of gambling like virtual sports and horse racing as sports events got postponed, and like the others have said it's not that surprising to see such an increase since a lot of people are looking for other sources of entertainment. I also remember there was some kind of proposal where they wanted to put a limit of a few hundred euros on all gamblers but I doubt such a proposal would get approved though.
The pandemic actually made a negative effect on most gamblers that never had intension of becoming addicted but it all turned out the opposite.
What on earth will make an idle being,locked away inside a room for isolation with little or no funds left not inculcate in gambling?
In most situations like the pandemic,it becomes an alternative.most peeps go into gambling that period just for entertainment (maybe because they don't wanna be idle and bored)
Oftentimes, those who are not actually gamblers actually play gambling because they want to fill their busy time and maybe that's what actually happened to a lot of Britons thereWhat on earth will make an idle being,locked away inside a room for isolation with little or no funds left not inculcate in gambling?

if they win and make a profit then that is very good but what if it happens otherwise they lose money, become gambling addicts and make debts pile up!! then it will be a big problem

For this year’s Safer Gambling Awareness Week (1-7 November), NerdWallet conducted research which revealed that nearly two-fifths of frequent gamblers, defined as those who gamble at least once a month, have seen their gambling increase during the pandemic.

With a lack of distraction over the tough months of lockdown, it appears that people have found it much harder to manage their gambling, and the habits developed during the last 18 or so months have been difficult to unwind even as the UK opens up.”
Not only that the reports go deep so as how people took the personal experience.

However, many wished to reduce the amount of time they spend gambling, with 43% of those who gamble at least once a month expressing this desire, while 57% of the everyday gamblers also wanted to curb the habit — but at the same time, 42% stated they had no idea how to go about it.

Looking back it does seem an almost inevitable side effect of the pandemic now. The entire population of the most developed countries in the world (many of who allow online gambling) were confined to their homes and if you look at the UK - given 80%+ of their wages by the government and they did not have to do any work for it either. That left people with loads of money and few retail outlets to spend it. Lots of shopping destinations closed down at the start of the pandemic and people stopped buying things like cars that they couldn't use. That's why so many gambling companies have banked so hard and seen their profits skyrocket in that time, although I expect that things will gradually start getting back to normal now.
