Reading Time: < 1 minute
According to the Lithuanian Gambling Supervisory Authority, the number of Lithuanians who self-excluded from gambling in 2020 reached 17,348. This shows an increase from the 2019 figure.
There was a rise in the number of women and the number of people aged 31 and 40 years old who self-excluded. The proportion of women who self-excluded increased to 10%, up from 7% last year.
On the other hand, the number of younger people aged 18 to 20 who self-excluded fell from 9% to 6%.
The Supervisory Authority said: “This small change is a possible sign that younger people are starting to look at their gambling more responsibly and that an aid measure such as a limitation on gambling is not necessary for them.”
The portion from the 21-30 age group who self-excluded also declined this year, from 52% to 48%, while self-exclusion among those aged 31 to 40 increased from 36% to 42%. The proportion of self-excluded gamblers aged 41-50 remained at 2% and those aged 51 or older at 4%.
