GambleAware awards £300,000 grant for new research into lived experiences of minority communities around gambling harms
GambleAware has announced the outcome of its recent grant award process to improve knowledge of the lived experiences of minority communities – including minority ethnic, religion, and language groups – in relation to gambling and gambling harms.
The grant was awarded through a competitive process to two consortia: one led by Ipsos MORI and supported by researchers at the University of Manchester; and a second led by ClearView Research. Ipsos MORI will lead the research overall. The 18-month programme will harness the consortia’s strong understanding of the research aims, the communities themselves, and the underlying factors that can drive or exacerbate gambling harms amongst marginalised and socially excluded communities. The specific objectives of the research are to:
- Explore minority communities’ lived experience of gambling, gambling harms, and gambling advice and information, support, and treatment services
- Explore the drivers of gambling harms among minority communities in Great Britain, building on international research
- Identify the services, interventions, and policies necessary to reduce and prevent gambling harms among these communities
In recognition of the importance of this research, and the ambition of the collaborative consortium, GambleAware increased the grant award to £300,000, up from the £250,000 specified in the original call for proposals.
The final research report will be published in 2023, but interim reports will be available earlier. These will inform GambleAware’s wider five-year strategy that aims to achieve a society free from gambling harms for all communities.
Dr Jay St.John Levy, Research Lead at GambleAware, said: “The experiences of minority communities around gambling are at present under-researched in Great Britain, yet evidence suggests that these groups are more likely to experience harm from gambling, and less likely to access gambling treatment services, compared with white communities.
“We are very pleased to award this grant to these two consortia who together bring considerable expertise focussing on people’s nuanced lived realities. This will help explore why these communities experience a greater burden of harm, and how to break down the barriers preventing them from accessing services.
“This research will better ensure that GambleAware and others can commission a broad range of treatment and support services that work for minority ethnic, language, and religious communities. It is therefore an important step towards reducing the current inequalities in gambling harms.”

Slotegrator releases its downloadable reports on a monthly basis. This time, it’s an overview of some common misconceptions about running a gambling business, essential reading for new operators.
Is running an online casino or sportsbook a foolproof enterprise? Are all players addicts? Is geographical expansion the only way operators can grow their business? Plenty of new operators might think so — and they won’t be the ones who last.
An online casino or sportsbook can be a fantastic and flourishing business. But if you build your platform on a foundation of false beliefs, it will never withstand the test of time. New iGaming operators who base their strategies on misconceptions will make wrong decision after wrong decision, ultimately leading to a very short-lived business.
That’s why it’s best to take a beat and do some research before diving in. They should find out which laws actually apply to their business, the different risks they’ll face once their platform is up and running (and there are plenty), what kind of player acquisition and retention strategies will work for them, and — most importantly — what kind of help they’ll need, and where and how to get it.
In Slotegrator’s latest report, the company collected 10 common myths about the online gambling industry and tore each one apart, revealing the truth behind them and clearing up any wrong ideas a reader might have. As an added bonus, they indicate which of their products and solutions correlate with the best efforts to avoid falling victim to each stereotype, like how their Telegram Casino solution can help iGaming companies expand their business, and how their APIgrator game integration solution can give you the game portfolio you need to keep players coming back (because offering a few favorite games isn’t enough anymore).
Any new operator in the early stages of planning, preparing, or launching an online business would find it well worth their time to learn everything they can from the insightful report, from the nuances of running an international business to the complexities of planning an effective marketing strategy for an online casino or sportsbook.
“We have experience in responding to various gambling operators’ requests in different regions and niches, and we know what ideas normally end in failure. Our mission is to minimize mistakes and help businesses to prevent crises. That’s why we developed our solutions for online casinos and sportsbooks, and that’s also the reason why we keep generating informative articles and other Academy materials,” comments Yana Khaidukova, the Managing Director of Slotegrator.
