BY THE NUMBERS
ImAGe PRoBlem IN U . K .
With years of attacks on the gaming industry to bolster opinion , it ’ s no surprise that the majority of British citizens have a negative view of gaming . In a monthly tracker , the YouGovUK website has consistently shown that a vast majority have an unfavorable or very unfavorable view of gaming , while less than 1 percent of respondents have a very favorable view . Contrast this with the U . S .,
where the annual State of the States survey by the American Gaming Association shows that at least 50 percent of Americans have a favorable view of gaming . Gaming observers in the U . K ., however , say the opinion isn ’ t in step with reality since studies have consistently shown the problem gambling rate in the U . K . is only 0.2 percent to 0.3 percent .
How Brits Feel About the Gaming Industry
