GambleAware\u2019s Annual Treatment and Support Survey 2024 has revealed a strong rise in the number of adults seeking treatment, advice, or support for gambling issues.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em><strong>Good to Know<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>Nearly 1 in 3 adults at risk now want help, almost double the figure from 2020.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Around 2 million children may live with an adult experiencing problem gambling.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li><em><strong>More than 90% of people support stricter gambling advertising bans across TV, games, and social media.<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p>Back in 2020, just 17% of adults who gambled and felt at risk of harm said they wanted help. By 2024, that number has climbed to 30%. For GambleAware, this rise is both encouraging and concerning \u2014 it means more people are seeking treatment, but also that the issue may be worsening across the country.<\/p>\n<h2>Growing Impact on Families and Children<\/h2>\n<p>The data highlights the ripple effect beyond individual players. The proportion of adults affected by a friend or family member\u2019s gambling has jumped from 6.5% in 2020 to 8.1% in 2024. That translates to an estimated 4.3 million adults. On top of that, the survey suggests around 2 million children may be growing up in homes where gambling problems are present.<\/p>\n<p>The charity also drew attention to prize draws, like Omaze and McDonald\u2019s Monopoly, which were often seen as lighthearted promotions. The numbers tell a different story: 27% of those who enter prize draws face some level of gambling risk, and 11% are estimated to fall into the problem gambling category.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

An overwhelming majority supported stronger restrictions. According to the survey, 91% back a ban on gambling ads in TV shows and video games popular with children, while 90% support a similar ban on social media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zo\u00eb Osmond OBE, CEO of GambleAware<\/strong>, warned that the trends are worrying:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGambling can be highly addictive, with devastating impacts on people\u2019s lives, relationships and financial stability. While it is encouraging that more people have sought help, this rise may also point to a growing public health crisis. We are increasingly alarmed by how gambling is being normalised and how frequently people\u2014especially young people\u2014are exposed to gambling across Great Britain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>She added that change requires tougher regulations, such as health warnings on all gambling ads, stricter digital marketing controls, and a full ban on sponsorships in stadiums and sports venues.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
