Collection description

The Global Gambling Control Scorecard (GGCS) dataset provides a comparative overview of national gambling control systems across countries. It systematically codes policy responses embedded in legislation, policy, and other mandatory regulations across seven domains:
1. Legal status of gambling & regulatory regime
2. Actions to prevent illegal/unlicensed gambling
3. Policies to prevent gambling harms; multi-sectoral policies
4. Use of effective prevention measures; availability of treatment
5. Effective regulatory controls (legal powers; prescriptive vs voluntary regulation)
6. Systems for monitoring harms
7. Methods of funding for harm prevention

This first version focuses on 34 European jurisdictions. The current version reflects information on policy and legislation up to 1 October 2025.

Data are provided in Microsoft Excel format and include 45 indicators, accompanied by metadata on coding definitions and sources.
