The Responsible Gambling Trust has launched a programme of research into the nature and extent of problem gambling behaviour in licensed bingo retail operations in Great Britain.
The charity has issued an invitation to tender to researchers to complete a review of existing evidence, develop a method of identifying any problem gambling behaviour in licensed bingo premises and to collect data on problem behaviour.
The RGT and the Bingo Association will facilitate participation of licensed bingo retail operators to provide data and practical support to the research programme, which will have a total budget of up to £125,000. Work is scheduled to begin in September and a final report is expected in spring 2016.
