A November 2020 survey focused on the usage of treatment, advice, and support among gamblers in Great Britain. According to the study, roughly five percent of surveyed gamblers consulted mental health services, such as a counselor or therapist, over the 12 months prior to the interview. As of the same period, four percent of British gamblers relied on the support of friends or family members.

The source specifies that the study used "the full (9-item) Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) to measure self-reported levels of gambling behavior which may cause harm to the gambler. The PGSI consists of nine items ranging from ‘chasing losses’ to ‘gambling causing health problems’ to ‘feeling guilty about gambling’. Each item is assessed on a four-point scale: never, sometimes, most of the time, almost always. Responses to each item are given the following scores: never = 0; sometimes = 1; most of the time = 2; almost always = 3. When scores for each item are summed, a total score ranging from 0 to 27 is possible. A PGSI score of 8 or more represents a problem gambler".
