Your Views on Gambling, Gaming and Cryptocurrency 2023

Your views on gambling, gaming, and cryptocurrency: 2023 survey

We want to hear what you think about gambling, cryptocurrency, and the connections between gaming and gambling like loot boxes (in-game purchases that give randomised rewards).

Young Scot has teamed up with Fast Forward to find out more about what Scottish children and young people think about these issues.

We also want to know if you would like more of a voice on the laws around gambling and gambling-like gaming features.
