Research Projects

1. Risk Factors for Problem Gambling
2. Socio-Economic Impacts of Problem Gambling in Botswana

The Gambling Authority has commissioned two studies to establish the risk factors for problem gambling and the socio-economic impacts of problem gambling in Botswana. A local consultancy firm, 5 AM Consultancy, has been awarded the tender to carry out the research on behalf of the Authority. Fieldworkers from 5 AM will visit designated homesteads around the country to interview subjects of the studies. All Covid-19 protocols will be followed.

We appeal to communities to cooperate with our teams during this study. Field workers will be identifiable by Gambling Authority branded t-shirts and caps/hats, as well as their national and work IDs.

If in doubt, members of the community are requested to contact Omphile Tlhaolang on 395 7672 to confirm the authenticity of interviewers.
