National Centre for Social Research to Lead Monitoring and Evaluation of Gambling Act Review
The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) has been commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and the Gambling Commission to develop a Monitoring and Evaluation plan for the Gambling Act Review. The Gambling Act Review was launched in 2020 to examine whether changes to gambling regulation in Great Britain are needed since the Gambling Act of 2005.
The project will establish the evaluation design to address how effective the Gambling Act Review (GAR) has been in preventing gambling-related harm to vulnerable groups and wider communities, gambling behaviours and the gambling market. The GAR evaluation will also aim to consider whether:
- there is an appropriate balance between consumer freedoms and choice on the one hand, and prevention of harm to vulnerable groups and wider communities on the other; and
- customers are suitably protected whenever and wherever they are gambling, and that there is an equitable approach to the regulation of the online and the land-based industries.
NatCen will develop a Theory of Change (ToC) for the GAR in co-design with DCMS and the Gambling Commission. This ToC will be supported by document analysis to ensure that the evaluation design is considered in the full context of recent changes in the gambling landscape.
NatCen will deliver a complete evaluation plan considering feasible approaches and practical recommendations for implementing this evaluation of the critical review.
Dr Sokratis Dinos, NatCen’s Director of Health Policy, said: “We are delighted to work on this project, to develop this monitoring and evaluation plan of the vital Gambling Act Review. The past decade has seen a significant shift in the perspective of gambling harms, and this contract is pivotal in providing feasible approaches and practical recommendations. This evaluation will consider the extent to which measures have effectively prevented gambling related harm to vulnerable groups and wider communities, whilst enabling the balance of consumer freedom and informed choice, and explore the wider impact on gambling behaviours and the market.”
As competition among online casino operators increasingly centers on bonus size and game catalogs, WinSpirit is testing a different kind of engagement. The company has launched Euphoria Lab, a project built around an unusual premise for the industry: asking players not about payouts, but about feelings.
Players are invited to share the emotions, memories, and scents they connect with winning. Some describe it as the smell of rain before a summer storm, others mention morning coffee, sea breeze, or the charge in the air right before a result is announced.
The initiative sits within WinSpirit’s summer campaign, but its ambition reaches beyond typical promotions or gameplay mechanics. Euphoria Lab turns attention to the emotional side of play — the moments that stay with players long after a session ends.
Every response collected becomes part of a larger creative project WinSpirit intends to unveil later this year. The company has kept the details under wraps, saying only that the concept moves in a direction rarely seen in the online casino space.
Rather than the usual focus on numbers, odds, or promotions, Euphoria Lab asks a simpler question: not what a win pays out, but what it feels like.
The project is live now, with players across several markets already contributing their answers — a growing, community-shaped experiment with no fixed endpoint yet.
