The audit's methodology, the collection of data and its analysis were planned and completed between December 2021 and June 2022, while the audit itself was done between March and April 2022. The ten targeted gambling operators in the UK that the audit directed its attention on were Betfair, Betfair, Coral, Betfred, Ladbrokes, Betway, Paddy Power, William Hill, Tombola, and Sky Bet. The BIT unit completed a behavioral audit on the websites of these operators, assessing every aspect of a player's journey on their websites, starting with signup and finishing with closing an account.
