In April last year, I wrote to gambling operators and asked them to prioritise sharing regular and up-to-date data with the Gambling Commision to help us understand the impact of Covid restrictions on gambling behaviours. Since then, the Commission has collected, analysed and published this data every month, alongside other insights into the impact of Covid-19 such as consumer surveys. The most recent update, covering March 2020 through to October 2020, can be found here:
