High Stakes: Gambling in the armed forces

About this episode

File on 4 Investigates examines the scale of problem gambling in the armed forces and the devastating impact on those serving, veterans and their families.

A new study seen exclusively by the team reveals nearly half of naval trainees who gambled were at risk of harm. This latest research builds on a growing body of evidence that points to a hidden problem across the forces that’s on the rise.

We ask if the MOD is aware of the challenge and if it’s doing enough to help those in need.

Reporter: Alastair Fee Producers: Jim Booth Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Production Coordinator: Tim Fernley Editor: Tara McDermott
