Three -quarters of British bettors say that betting are part of culture, new polls find
A new survey revealed that 74% of regular bettors believe that bets are a distinctive part of British culture.
The Yougov Survey for the Organization of Standards, the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), comes as the United Kingdom faces potential discussions of reforming games of chance and tax.
According to the BGC, this important percentage underlines “the role that regulated bets play in the social and economic fabric of the United Kingdom”. It is also indicated that a total of 1.5 million British reached 4.3 billion pounds sterling ($ 5.8 billion) each year.
“The bettors are clear, bets are not only a leisure activity, but a precious and long-standing part of the cultural and sporting landscape of Great Britain. Casinos at the bingo, breakage, football, rugby league, darts, and snooker, millions of adults appreciate betting safely and responsible for each month, “said the Hurst grainne council, Hurst.
The British betting industry is waiting for the government to consult the potential changes
The Treasury is currently consulting potential changes to the taxation of betting and online games. It is as a sign of protest with this certain number of horse racing lights were delayed next month.
“BGC members are proud to support jobs in the main street, to invest in local communities and basic sports, and to contribute billions of taxes to finance essential public services,” said Hurst.
“However, these important cultural and economic contributions are now in danger. Any additional increase in taxation on regulated operators of betting and games will harm the bettors and will lead even more to the online black market, which does not pay tax, does not support any job, does not contribute anything to British sport and does not offer safer game protections. “
Also in the survey, almost a third (31%) of respondents say they believe that the government has too much influence on how people spend their disposable income.
The latest statistics currently suggest around 22.5 million adults in Great Britain have a bet each month. In the latest NHS health survey for England, it is estimated that 0.4% of the adult population experienced games of chance.
