Gambling Survey for Great Britain: Year 1, 2023

<p>The <span style="font-style: italic;">Gambling Survey for Great Britain</span> (GSGB) is a push-to-web survey (with a paper questionnaire option) that collects data on gambling participation. The GSGB is commissioned by the Gambling Commission and carried out by the National Centre for Social Research and the University of Glasgow. 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 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

《大不列颠赌博调查（Gambling Survey for Great Britain，GSGB）》是一项推送式网络调查（同步提供纸质问卷选项），旨在收集赌博参与相关数据。该调查由英国赌博委员会（Gambling Commission）委托，由国家社会研究中心（National Centre for Social Research）与格拉斯哥大学（University of Glasgow）共同实施。本调查首年度的数据采集工作于2023年完成。

GSGB的调查目标如下：
1. 收集涵盖各类最新赌博行为的相关数据，包括赌博参与情况及其产生的不良后果；
2. 推行滚动式数据采集计划，使委托方能够及时获取领域洞察并应对新兴趋势；
3. 为赌博行为及其影响的相关证据基础提供支撑，助力识别研究空白与工作优先级；
4. 依据英国统计监管办公室（Office for Statistics Regulation）在《统计业务守则（Code of Practice for Statistics）》中规定的标准，编制并发布关于赌博参与情况与流行率的官方统计数据。

用户需注意，GSGB的调查结果无法与此前用于赌博统计的同类调查直接对标，例如《英格兰与苏格兰健康调查（Health Surveys for England and Scotland）》，以及2007至2010年间开展的英国赌博流行率调查（British Gambling Prevalence Survey，BGPS）系列（该系列数据由英国数据服务中心（UKDS）收录，编号为SN 5836、6639与6843）。这是因为新型推送式网络调查方法与此前调查所采用的方法存在显著差异，且GSGB在开发过程中对问卷问题进行了更新与优化。
