Study raises 'problem gambling' concerns

While a baseline study on the prevalence of excessive and problem gambling in Botswana done by BGA only indicates a low gambling prevalence in Botswana at five percent compared to the world’s, the study has raised concern about problem gambling in regulated casinos.

However, the report also states that while some of the problem gambling is reported to be taking place in casino sites, the magnitude of problem gambling amongst individuals who participated in unregulated gambling is not known.
