Well if someones says that it was a slow year for the UK Gambling Commission, he must be not so well informed, because the latest publication of the UK Gambling Commission’s executive summary shows that it has done a great job regulating all gambling-related activities in the United Kingdom, from the small pub to the modern online casino. After doing a job like this, no-one could say that the UK Gambling Commission is ineffective.

The Commission’s publication throws more light on the gambling industry statistics, with the 2010 Prevalence survey concerning problem gambling issues, this report providing even deeper statistics regarding gambling and also more details about the Commission work itself.

The executive brief gives more comments on cases connected with high-risk problem gambling behavior, and provides explanations how more often information is being used to extend future research. Matching against the gambling activities of Britons with those gathered by Commission, which now runs under completely new regulations, analysts will be able to better understand about gambling behaviur and of course the efficiency of the regulatory framework being in use from now on.

Concerning the latest gambling operations, the Commission gave gambling licenses to some 3,428 operators and has handed out almost 4,200 licenses for conducting gambling activities by last year. The recent summary reports concerning gambling activities show that 68% of Britons take part in at least one form of gambling (in comparison to 72% from 1999), and almost one-third of them participate in the National Lottery.

Further statistics show that only 4% took a part in any online casino or poker betting activity, while the percentage of problem gamblers did not change from 1999. The sectors of spread betting, fixed odds terminal betting and exchange betting of the gambling industry show up the highest prevalence of problem gambling.

Note that the UK is one of the largest gambling market in the world, and one of the most free.
