NICVA welcomes this consultation as the current outdated gambling regulations in Northern Ireland are currently very restrictive and limiting the fundraising capacity of many charities, sports clubs and other voluntary led organisations (Societies). Online casino operators are taking advantage of this regulatory wild west. As a result, the territory has experienced an explosive growth of casino sites, which is having a tragic effect on problem gambling. Northern Ireland Speaks Out on Gambling Laws.

*The most common form of gambling is on lottery tickets or scratch cards, with 56.7% reporting this form of gambling in the last year, and 35.4% reporting this form of gambling on a monthly (or more frequent) basis.
*Those aged 55-64 are most likely to report gambling in the last year (72.4%), followed by 35-44 year olds (70.5%) and 45-54 year olds (69.4%).
*Almost one in ten 15-17 year olds bought a lottery ticket or scratch card in the last year, and 9.4% placed a bet at a horse or dog-racing meeting.
*The prevalence of all gambling in the last year was highest among those in Group B (Middle Management senior civil servants, managers and owners of own business) (71.4%), and lowest among Group D (Semi-Skilled and unskilled manual workers, trainees and apprentices) (60.4%).
*Gambling online or by telephone is most prevalent in the 25-34 year old group (5.7%), followed by 18-24 year olds (4.8%).
*Males have a higher prevalence of problem gambling than females (1.4% vs. 0.2%).
*Prevalence of problem gambling in the general population was 0.8%
*Problem gambling is most common in young males (2.9% in males aged 25-34 and 1.9% in males aged 18-24).
*The prevalence of problem gambling in females is less than 1% in all age groups.
*In response to the DSM-IV problem gambling questionnaire, 4.7% of males and 1.7% of females reporting chasing losses in the last 12 months.
Well, according to data published on February 28 by the country’s health research board, there are at least 40,000 problem gamblers in Ireland. This represents just 0.8 percent of the population and contrasts the 2.3 percent figure that was recently posted by researchers from Northern Ireland. The contradictions between these to two separate findings have been very controversial, to say the least with the opposition saying that the data published by the government is “flawed” and can therefore not be used as an accurate basis for the formation of any policies.
“Is the government honestly saying that the problem gambling rate in Dundalk is 0.8%, but the problem gambling rate in Newry is 2.3%? … The south of Ireland has the highest online gambling losses in the world per capita and the third highest gambling losses overall per capita and Fine Gael want us to believe it is not a problem,” Sinn Féin’s Louise O’Reilly said
The government has since responded by decreeing that there will be further research within the next 12 months – this will greatly assist and guide its understanding of the issues pertaining to gambling in the country. Still, one thing that both the opposition and the government can agree on is the fact that a significant portion of the country’s population is involved in some form of gambling and this means that there is a need for regulatory and consumer protection measures.Underage Gambling
Perhaps an even more pressing issue is the fact a worrying number of the people who have access to gambling services are underage. As it turns out, about a tenth of all 15-17-year-olds in the country have access to some form of gambling services with the most common ones being lottery ticket and scratch card gambling. This means that about 1 out of 10 the underage people within the specified age brackets have participated in some form of horse-racing or dog-racing betting in the recent past.
Surprisingly, these underage gamblers seem to be making these bets from the forbidden land-based gambling service providers – it is, apparently, more challenging for them to access the same services on the plethora of online gambling sites around. As interesting as the fact that online gambling regulation in Ireland ins more robust than land-based gaming regulation may be, it goes without saying that this a problem that needs to be solved and the relevant authorities are going to need a considerable amount of help to ensure that viable solutions are arrived at.Problem Gambling In Northern Ireland England
The Irish National Lottery has already issued a statement acknowledging the findings. The organization has further affirmed its willingness to cooperate with authorities to curb the issue.
