在英国有许多人热衷于网上赌博游戏，但网上赌场并不适合所有人。有些人，就其性质而言，是活跃的赌徒，约占英国人口的0.7％。大家在这方面，最突出的重要的事情之一，就是问题赌徒的周围。
从理论上说，从在线播放配置文件可以很容易地跟踪和比较其他已知的问题赌徒的数据，这个方法应该是更容易和更有效的。
有一项调查显示，跟踪英国人民赌博方面的行为包括：赌场，体育博彩，扑克，宾果等调查，通常会问这样的问题：
在英国赌博究竟有多少人？
他们玩什么游戏？
这就是所谓的英国赌博患病率调查，2011年版。
我们来看看，从2010年开始的英国赌博调查的结果显示，近75％的成年人在英国赌博。
更多的投注者都是根据这个独立的博彩委员会公布的报告进行投注的。
几乎75％的成年人赌博，比2007年的68％的有所增长。大多数人说他们豪赌，“因为它的乐趣”和“赢得赚大钱的机会”。然而，这些人赌博网上的比例相对较小，但这是一个快速增长的领域，尤其是移动的在线赌博。
报告突出了赌博问题的严重性，并显示，有0.7％的人认为自己有赌博问题。这个比率与那些在其他欧洲国家（德国，挪威和瑞士），比美国，澳大利亚（热衷插槽游戏或扑克游戏的国家）和南非等国家的比率是相近的。
国际上公认的工具，通常用来突出问题赌博 - “DSM - IV的”赌博问题严重程度指数（PGSI）。
美国精神病学协会的诊断和统计手册显示：
问题赌徒在英国大约是1%，挪威是0.8％，德国是0.6％，瑞士是0.8％，美国是3.5％，南非是1.4％。
请确保你是不是在0.7％范围内，这些玩家只知道玩钱，可能不太懂得为自己设定一个上限预算。
下面是一些友情忠告：
不要用钱打赌你输不起的。
下注时，你要有所保留，不能倾其所有。
做一个预算，帮助你规划和管理你在赌场上的资金。

How Many People in the UK Gamble?
One of the things we are keen to highlight here at Online Casino King, is that casinos are not suitable for everyone. Some people, are by their nature, adictive gamblers. （Around 0.7% of the population actually）。 One of the important things to highlight, for everyone in this area, is that there ARE problem gamblers around. It is important to identify these individuals quickly （both by the casino companies themselves, and by the individuals recognizing that they have a problem）。
Theoretically, this should be easier and more efficient online, as playing profiles can be easily tracked and compared to a database of other known problem gamblers. If you are in doubt, it’s easy. Just stay away.
There are plenty of other things to do! （learn to sail, get a dog, play with your kids!）
There’s a survey that comes out every year tracking the behaviour of British people with regards to gambling: casinos, sports betting, poker, bingo etc. The survey asks questions like:
How many people in the UK gamble?
What games to they play?
It’s called the British Gambling Prevalence Survey, and the 2011 version is out soon （more on that later）。
We take a look here at the findings of the 2010 UK Gambling Survey which starts off with a claim that nearly 75% of adults in Britain gamble.
More punters are playing according to this independent report published by the Gambling Commission.
Almost 75% of adults （73%） gambled, an increase from 68% in 2007. Most people say they gamble “because it’s fun” and “for the chance of winning big money”。 Only a relatively small proportion of these people gamble online, however, although this is an area that is seeing fast growth （particularly in mobile）。
The report highlights problem gambling and shows that 0.7% class themselves as having a problem with their gambling. These rates are similar to those in other European countries （Germany, Norway and Switzerland） and lower than countries like the USA, Australia （well known for its love of slots or pokies） and South Africa.
Internationally recognised tools are normally used to highlight problem gambling – the ‘DSM-IV’ and the Problem Gambling Severity Index （PGSI）。
DSM-IV stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.
Problem gamblers in the UK are about the same % as they are in Norway （0.8%）， Germany （0.6%） and Switzerland （0.8%）， and lower than the States （3.5%）， and South Africa （1.4%），
For a more detailed summary of this report, head to gamblingcommission.gov.uk.
And please, make sure you are not making up the numbers of those players in the 0.7%! Only play with money that you can afford to lose and treat casino play as entertainment- set yourself a budget, much as you would do if you were going for a night out.
In particular:
Don’t bet with money you can’t afford to lose.
Bet with money that you have set aside for entertainment.
Keep a close eye of how much money you are really spending – not only the amount you bet at first, but also the winnings that you may bet. Pocket your winnings, don’t put them back in the machines.
Having a budget helps you plan and manage your spending, including at the casino.
