brief, which sets out the proposed approach to the research. Once the research team is in place, operators will be contacted to explain how they can get involved at an early stage.
Ben Haden, programme director at the Gambling Commission, said: “Our strategy sets out our commitment to preventing harm to consumers from the risks gambling can pose. Success of this relies on growing our evidence base to better understand the types of gambling products and services that present more of a risk of harm to consumers than others. Gambling firms have an important role to play in achieving this as they hold comprehensive data that is vital to this research. It goes beyond simply analysing the data which is already reported to us by operators and we will be encouraging the industry to get involved.”
