The Government has not made any estimates of the number of people at risk of developing a gambling addiction. The most recent figures from the Health Survey for England published in April 2018, estimated that 3.6% of people in England were at low or moderate risk of developing problems with their gambling.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Gambling Commission support a survey of young people each year, which found in 2017 that 0.9% of 11-16 year olds are defined as problem gamblers and 1.3% are \u2018at risk\u2019 gamblers. The survey is available at the following link:<\/p>

It is not the role of the Department to recognise gambling disorder and addiction as a distinct mental health condition. The International Classification of Disease (ICD) is a system created by the World Health Organization (WHO) for documenting diagnoses, diseases, signs and symptoms and social circumstances. The ICD was revised in 2018 (ICD-11) and now recognises gambling disorder as a mental health condition due to addictive behaviours. The revised document will be formally published in 2019 and as a WHO member, the Government will adopt this updated classification standard for collecting and reporting information related to health conditions by 2022.<\/p>
