Author(s): Levy, Jay ; O'Driscoll, Catherine ; Sweet, Amy

Publisher: GambleAware

Year Published: 2020

Date Added: April 08, 2021

Resource Type: Literature review

Minority groups in Great Britain experience more harm from gambling. Yet, there is little research why this is the case. This literature review considers why minority groups experience more gambling-related harms. These factors include experiences of racisms, cultural and linguistic barriers, and location. The review found that structural racism, inequality, and discrimination were central.

Suggestions for future research include:

  • Consult minority groups when conducting research.
  • Use the preferred languages of groups and individuals during studies.
  • Create community-specific resources on gambling harms.
