GambLGBTQ+ is a research project seeking to understand gambling and related harms in LGBTQ+ communities. The University of Brighton are leading on GambLGBTQ+ in collaboration with ourselves and YouGov, and is funded by GambleAware.
Research on LGBTQ+ gambling and gambling harms is limited, and the research that is available highlights the need for further research on the lived experiences of gambling for LGBTQ+ people – in particular those whose intersecting identities and backgrounds are minoritised and overlooked.
If you’re interested in taking part in the study, please email Matt (they/them) and read below for more details:
Are you LGBTQ+ and have experience of gambling and related harms? We are recruiting participants for the final phase of the GambLGBTQ+ project that seeks to understand the impact of gambling on LGBTQIA+ communities in and around the city of Brighton & Hove. In particular, we seek participation from people who are included in one or more of the following groups:
- from a minoritised race and/or ethnicity background.
- are Gypsy, Roma or Traveller.
- are trans, non-binary and/or intersex.
- are a migrant to the UK, a refugee, or an asylum seeker.
- previously or currently experiencing homelessness or sleeping rough.
Participants will receive a voucher for their time and will be supported to take photos and discuss these in a small group or at a 1-2-1 interview. Support is available from GamCare on 0808 8020 133.
