    Open AccessSally M Gainsbury, Brett Abarbanel et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Internationally, Internet gambling is increasingly permitted under regulated licensing conditions; however, the specific products that are legal varies between jurisdictions. Online sports and race wagering are now legal in many jurisdictions, but in-play betting (also referred to as "live action" or "in-the-run" betting) is often restricted. In-play betting enables bets to be placed on an event after it has commenced. Prohibitionist policies oft…

    Open AccessSally M Gainsbury, Nicola Black et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Internet gambling provides a unique environment with design mechanics and data-driven opportunities that can impact gambling-related harms.

  • What does it mean to recover from a gambling disorder? Perspectives of gambling help service users

    Dylan Pickering, Michael J Spoelma et al.ARTICLEAddiction Research & Theory2019

    Background: There is no consensus on how to best define recovery in gambling disorder. This minimizes clinicians’ abilities to apply optimal treatment goals and contributes to inconsistency in the use of outcome variables to evaluate interventions. Current understanding of recovery is largely based on professional opinion and theoretical models of gambling disorder. This study aimed to examine core features of recovery identified by service users…

Implicit within this approach is the assumption that scores on screening instruments are a proxy for the presence and severity of harms associated with gambling.Method: A sample of 99 clients attending a specialist gambling treatment clinic, and 330 regular gambl…

  • Examining the potential for therapeutic jurisprudence in cases of gambling-related criminal offending in Australia

    Ashley Adolphe, Celine Van Golde et al.ARTICLECurrent Issues in Criminal Justice2019

    Despite being recognised as an addiction in the psychological and legal domains, gambling disorder does not mitigate the culpability of perpetrators of gambling-related offences in Australia. This article will argue that this stance is misguided, as it is founded upon misconceptions about the nature of problem gambling, exaggerated emphasis upon certain sentencing principles over others and undue differentiation between drug and gambling addictio…

  • How can we conceptualize behavioural addiction without pathologizing common behaviours?

    Open AccessDaniel Kardefelt‐Winther, Alexandre Heeren et al.ARTICLEAddiction2017

    Following the recent changes to the diagnostic category for addictive disorders in DSM‐5, it is urgent to clarify what constitutes behavioural addiction to have a clear direction for future research and classification. However, in the years following the release of DSM‐5, an expanding body of research has increasingly classified engagement in a wide range of common behaviours and leisure activities as possible behavioural addiction. If this expan…

  • Extending the Reno model

    Howard J Shaffer, Robert Ladouceur et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Orthopsychiatry2016

    The RENO Model, first published during 2004, described a science-based framework of responsible gambling principles for a range of industry operators, health service providers, community and consumer groups, and governments. These strategic principles serve as a guide for the adoption and implementation of responsible gambling and harm-minimization initiatives. This article extends the RENO Model core principles by describing how to apply these s…
