  • Gambling industry ‘black market’ warnings about illegal gambling need to be critically evaluated

    Open AccessPhilip Newall, Jakob JönssonARTICLECritical Gambling Studies2026

  • ‘I’ll come across something within a minute, guaranteed’

    Steffi De Jans, Liselot Hudders et al.ARTICLEInternational Gambling Studies2026

    Given the influence of gambling advertising on individuals’ perceptions and behaviors, policymakers in various jurisdictions have introduced restrictions to mitigate harm. In Belgium, most forms of gambling advertising have been banned since 2023, although exemptions, transitional measures for sports sponsoring, and potential loopholes remain. Using semi-structured in-depth interviews with 16 young adults, this study explored how people who gambl…

  • Relapse in disordered gambling

    Open AccessJamie Torrance, Mark Quigley et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2026

    Background Relapse is common among individuals undergoing treatment for gambling disorder (GD). Understanding the biological, psychological, and social (biopsychosocial (BPS)) factors that influence relapse in GD is important to guide clinical practice and improve treatment efficacy. However, evidence synthesis in this area is warranted to provide clarity and cohesion to the literature.Method A systematic review of empirical research (2015–2026) …

  • ‘It’s so difficult that you have to be fully in control of your emotions, you have to be fully understanding of what you’re betting on’

    Open AccessJamie Torrance, Jessica Smith et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2026

    Background Sports betting is most often a losing endeavor, yet a small population of bettors can exercise enough skill to win or even bet professionally. While research has explored successful professional poker players, sports betting presents distinct challenges, including inherent outcome uncertainty and adversarial bookmaker relationships. Understanding the psychology of successful professional sports betting would provide a counterpoint to b…

  • A strategic approach to gambling regulation

    Open AccessPhilip NewallARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2026

    Gambling regulation can be informed by various conceptual models, such as the public health model which views it as being intrinsically harmful like tobacco, and which therefore implies the use of population-based harm prevention measures. The children’s game of whack-a-mole has also been used to describe the challenges of online gambling regulation, where new regulatory issues continue to emerge. Here I explore the implications of seeing gamblin…

  • Cue the sad trombone

    Open AccessDan Myles, D Bennett et al.ARTICLEBehavioural Public Policy2026

    The UK has recently introduced regulations to prevent design features of online gambling products that may ‘encourage problem gambling behaviour’. One change has been to prohibit win-associated and celebratory audiovisual effects following monetary losses in online slots, intended to disable a misleading design feature known as ‘losses disguised as wins’ (LDWs). We assessed 26 popular online slots available to UK consumers. Contrary to regulatory…

  • Gambling products are designed to be addictive’

    Open AccessAndré Spicer, Maira Andrade et al.ARTICLEBehavioural Public Policy2026Referencias: 5

    The gambling industry tends to frame gambling harms as a matter of personal responsibility, which is implicit in their messages like ‘gamble responsibly’ or ‘take time to think’. Jurisdictions such as Australia and the UK are replacing industry messages with a range of independently designed ones, like in tobacco warning labels. Counter-industry messages have been proposed to challenge industry narratives, e.g., ‘gambling products are designed to…

  • Widespread illegal video game advertising in the UK and South Korea

    Open AccessLeon Y Xiao, Callum Deery et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Addictions2025

  • Of course we make money, but it has to be in a responsible way’

    Open AccessPhilip Newall, Allegra Katharine Whybrow et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2025

    Background Gambling can be regulated in different ways, with some jurisdictions having competitive markets of privately-owned operators, some jurisdictions having state-owned operators that have exclusive legal monopolies, and in other jurisdictions former state-owned monopolies now compete in markets against privately-owned operators. While privately-owned operators tend to emphasize gamblers’ individual responsibility while implementing subopti…

  • Are you struggling to keep it up?’

    Open AccessAllegra Katharine Whybrow, Allegra Whybrow et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2025

    Masculine insecurities around wealth and status may be exploitable through social media advertising. Investment day-trading is potentially marketed as a high-status activity despite being a high-risk ‘gambling-like’ activity associated with financial losses. Little research has examined how these advertisements position day-trading within masculine identity narratives or what insecurities they may produce and frame as resolvable through trading. …

  • Is profiting from problem gamblers immoral? Ethics and morality among professional high-stakes online poker players

    Niri Talberg, Philip NewallARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2025

    Online poker is like other electronic gambling formats in that large amounts of money can be quickly lost, which can lead to a number of harms for problem gamblers. However, unlike most gambling formats, it involves direct meetings between skilled and unskilled players, meaning that sufficiently skilled players can have successful professional careers. Do successful professionals ever feel concern for losers’ well-being, and how do these concerns…

  • Gambling advertising is inherently misleading

  • Trading is a losing game

    Open AccessMaira Andrade, Daniel Fonseca Costa et al.ARTICLEBehavioural Public Policy2025Referencias: 10

    Mobile-based trading apps have made investing easier than ever before, but this includes enabling access to risky investments that many investors may not be able to trade safely. The UK financial regulator thereby requires Contract for Difference (CFD) trading apps to make disclosures such as, ‘89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider’. However, these disclosures might be counteracted by either their subopti…

  • To screen, or not to screen

    Open AccessLeon Y Xiao, Philip Newall et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2024

    Loot boxes are gambling-like products found in video games that players can buy with real-world money to obtain random rewards. A positive correlation between loot box spending and problem gambling severity has been well-replicated. Some researchers recently argued that this observed positive correlation may be due to participants incorrectly interpreting problem gambling questions as applying to their loot box expenditure because they see loot b…

  • Gambling-Related Harm to Affected Others

    Open AccessPhilip Newall, Vijay Rawat et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Mental…2024

    Quantitative self-report measures for gambling-related harm experienced by gamblers themselves are established in the literature, whereas similar measures of gambling-related harm to affected others (AOs, a.k.a. concerned significant others) are given less attention. The impact of gambling-related harm varies significantly among different relationship types, such as partners, family members, and friends. Moreover, while many studies concentrate p…

  • When Vegas Comes to Wall Street

    Open AccessLeonardo Weiss‐Cohen, Philip Newall et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Mental…2024

    Both gambling and trading involve risk-taking in exchange for potential financial gains. In particular, speculative high-risk high-frequency trading closely resembles disordered gambling behaviour by attracting the same individuals who tend to be overconfident, sensation-seekers, and attracted to quick large potential payoffs. We build on these studies via an incentivised experiment, in which we examine how manipulated levels of market volatility…

  • Does the lived experience of gambling accord with quantitative self-report scores of gambling-related harm

    Open AccessPhilip Newall, Vijay Rawat et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2024

    A broad quantitative literature has explored the extent and distribution of gambling-related harm. However, any quantitative measure involves a number of statistical decisions around item selection and weighting that may affect its ability to provide an accurate summary of a gambler’s lived experience. This may especially be an issue with a condition as varied and multifaceted as gambling-related harm. The present research therefore used qualitat…

  • The active foundations of the illusion of control

    Open AccessTy Hayes, Lukasz Walasek et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2024

    The mistaken belief that personal control can affect the outcomes of random events is seen as a core part of disordered gamblers’ irrational beliefs via the ‘illusion of control’. The present study tests the extent of action-based manifestation of the illusion of control in a dice-rolling game, which provides a novel controlled test of a claim first made by Henslin that craps gamblers tend to shake their dice harder when aiming for higher numbers…
