Predicting problem gambling among online sports and race bettors
Defining and measuring gambling satisfaction as an indicator of gambling problems

Life satisfaction has been examined across various domains including health, finances, and relationships, yet, how gambling relates to life satisfaction is underexplored. The current study aimed to explore the novel construct of gambling satisfaction by defining…

How does on-demand streaming technology promote binge-watching? An exploration and classification of streaming platform design features
Binge-watching (i.e., watching multiple TV series episodes in one session) has rapidly become the new viewing standard now that on-demand viewing technology allows 24-hr access to almost unlimited content. There is increasing recognition, however, that dysregulated binge-watching can be harmful to viewers. No formal or specific investigation of the design features of streaming platforms has been performed despite this being critical to an underst…
Factors influencing the adoption of pre-commitment devices for online gambling
Deposit limits are a voluntary pre-commitment device that allow gambling customers to pre-select the amount of money they want to be able to deposit into their gambling accounts, representing an external aid to self-control. This study aimed to investigate attitudes towards and use of deposit limits along with perceived barriers and motivators to use among regular online gambling customers using the Theory of Planned Behaviour as a framework. An …

Gaming activities among adolescents have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing with it a growing concern for the potential harms of excessive gaming and its risk factors. Anxiety is frequently linked with gaming disorder, but studies investigating this association were mostly cross-sectional in design. Longitudinal studies that explore risk factors associated with gaming disorder are sparse and the trajectories of gaming disorder remai…
Short-term cognitive impacts of electronic gaming machines with and without a skill-based component
This study aimed to compare how consumers understand the role of skill and chance, experience cognitive distortions, and experience immersion based on use of either electronic gaming machines (EGMs) or skill gambling machines (SGMs; EGMs with a skill-based component). Participants ( N = 246, M age = 34 years, 56.91% female) in a laboratory experiment were randomly assigned to play a real EGM or SGM without funds and self-reported measures includi…

Are video games intrinsically addictive? An international online survey
Website design features
The nature of the online environment makes it difficult for individuals to verify their safety and to identify latent risks in online activities. This limits website users' ability to take appropriate security precautions. Websites use various features and functions supported by computer‐based media technologies to communicate and interact with users to achieve business success. Most website features research has previously focused solely on e‐co…
The Relationship Between In-Play Betting and Gambling Problems in an Australian Context of Prohibited Online In-Play Betting
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…
Reducing Internet Gambling Harms Using Behavioral Science
Internet gambling provides a unique environment with design mechanics and data-driven opportunities that can impact gambling-related harms. Some elements of Internet gambling including isolation, lack of interruption, and constant, easy access have been argued to pose specific risks. However, identifiable player accounts enable identification of behavioral risk markers and personalized private interfaces to push customized messages and interventi…
Debt stress partly explains the relationship between problem gambling and comorbid mental health problems
Disconnect between intentions and outcomes
Many social networking site (SNS) users regret previous posts and post sensitive content despite the potential for negative consequences. Limited research has examined regret among SNS users, and it is unclear whether regret differs between text and graphic formats. An online survey of Australian SNS users (N = 995), compared regretted text to photo and video posts by examining demographic characteristics, psychological antecedents, post content,…
What does it mean to recover from a gambling disorder? Perspectives of gambling help service users
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…

Background Gambling disorder is related to high overall gambling engagement; however specific activities and modalities are thought to have stronger relationships with gambling problems. This study aimed to isolate the relationship between specific gambling activities and modalities (Internet and venue/land-based) to gambling disorder and general psychological distress. Past-month Internet gamblers were the focus of this investigation because thi…

Consumer engagement with and perceptions of offshore online gambling sites
Many jurisdictions have legalized and licensed online gambling sites. Nonetheless, a notable proportion of the online gambling market operates offshore.

This study aimed to explore the extent to which Australian online gamblers use offshore as compared to dom…
