Summary:

This report is an investigation into the “Prevention Paradox.” The “Prevention Paradox” suggests gambling harms are suffered by a large number of individuals who do not have gambling problems, due to the fact that they greatly outnumber individuals who exhibit substantial problems with gambling. The SEIGMA Social Research Team investigated gambling-related harms in the BGPS-BOPS combined sample to determine the prevalence of the most significant harms among the population in the study, from non-gamblers to problem gamblers.
