The Gambling Commission has suspended an online operator from transacting with consumers for failing to integrate the safer gambling self-exclusion scheme GAMSTOP. 

LEBOM Limited, trading from lebom.app, has been immediately suspended from operating until the Commission is satisfied that the operator has fully integrated GAMSTOP.

Since its launch in November 1994, the National Lottery has raised over £46 billion for good causes that include sports (including Olympic athletes), arts and heritage, as well as health, education and the environment.  

Funds are raised from the sale of National Lottery games and supplemented by items such as unclaimed prizes. The funds for good causes are held in the National Lottery Distribution Fund (NLDF). 

This statistical release covers the quarterly gambling participation and problem gambling prevalence data for the year to September 2022. 

The data being released is based on the Commission’s quarterly telephone survey conducted by Yonder Consulting. 

We have reached the next stage in our project to improve the way we collect data on gambling participation and prevalence of those who experience difficulties or harms through their gambling.

Since 2011, we have undertaken the Young People and Gambling Survey, a study of 11 to 16 year olds across Great Britain.  

The study is important because it helps us to understand exposure to, and involvement in, gambling amongst children and young people.  

We use the results to help protect them from being harmed or exploited by gambling. On 10 November, we will publish the 2022 report.
