A look at gambling behavior

Luck seems to be a sought-after commodity, and the numbers speak for themselves: As a recent study conducted between August 1st and October 16th, 2023 shows, 36.5% of the population took part in gambling in the last twelve months. This was determined by the Institute for Interdisciplinary Addiction and Drug Research (ISD) in collaboration with the University of Bremen. [Glücksspiel-Sucht NRW] also reveals that men, at 40.4%, gamble significantly more often than women, for whom this number is 32.7%.

It is also particularly noteworthy that most gamblers are in the 56 to 70 age group. In addition, the gambling survey shows that 12.2% of respondents gamble at least once a week, while 17.3% go exclusively to arcades and 10.7% play online. Lotto 6aus49 remains the most popular choice, followed by the Eurojackpot and riskier forms of gambling.

The survey also found that 2.4% of respondents suffer from a gambling disorder, with men affected at higher rates than women. A trend that has emerged in recent years is the increase in 18- to 25-year-olds, with serious gambling problems increasing from 0.7% (2021) to 2.1% (2023).

Risks and information

Another interesting facet of the game is the concerns of the population. Over 80% of respondents are aware of the risks associated with gambling. They support both a ban on participation for minors and increased education about the risks of addiction. Social acceptance of advertising restrictions is also at a high level, which shows that awareness of the problem is constantly growing.

Taking all these aspects into account, it shows that gambling in Germany is a popular but also sensitive topic that brings both joy and problems. The joy of a single winner from the Rhein-Kreis Neuss reflects the happiness that always brings hope and longing to many people. Maybe you too will be lucky one day!
