The surveys that underpinned this also identified people who are at risk of problems related to their gambling behaviour but who are not classified as problem gamblers. The number of moderate-risk gamblers was 555,000, and the number of low-risk gamblers was approximately 1,430,000. Both headline rates of problem gambling and at-risk rates have been relatively stable for many years.</p><p> </p><p>In October the government published a consultation on Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility across the industry. This closed on 23 January, and we will consider all responses and publish our response and next steps in due course.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 31/01/2018 10:15:54 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
