Beneficial or harmful? Finns’ perceptions of the consequences of their gambling on relationships, health, and finances
Gambling can result in benefits and harm, yet their relationship and underlying predictors remain inadequately understood. Using data from the Finnish Gambling 2023 population survey (N = 5,977), this study examines to what extent Finnish gamblers self-report gambling as beneficial or harmful. We examined associations between sociodemographic and gambling behavior-related variables and harms and benefits across three domains: relationships, healt…
Deriving lower-risk gambling limits from data collected in four cross-sectional Finnish surveys
Gambling type preferences, psychological distress and hazardous alcohol use among young Finns
Background: Adolescence and early adulthood are periods of heightened vulnerability to gambling harm, financial strain, and mental health problems. Although overall gambling participation has declined among young people in Finland, those aged 20–29 remain overrepresented among individuals experiencing at-risk or problem gambling.Methods: This study uses combined data from the nationally representative Finnish Gambling 2019 and 2023 surveys (2019:…
Using administrative register data for adjusting non-response bias in the finnish gambling harms survey

Towards more reliable gambling cost estimates, a population-based study with register-linkage
Methods commonly used in gambling cost studies yield higher estimates of gambling costs when arbitrary causality adjustment methods are used. Bayes theorem allows leveraging data on temporal patterns of gambling problems to estimate the plausible proportion where gambling is the precipitating factor for the experienced harm, rather than the other way around. Additionally, costs could be presented as Int$ per adult using the PPP exchange rate to f…

Gambling behavior and criminal convictions
Background Gambling severity and criminal convictions are known to be correlated, but there is a lack of understanding of the associations between the type and frequency of offending, game types, gambling motives and gambling intensity. This study aims to fill this gap by examining systematically whether conviction prevalence varies with gambling behavior.Method The study combined register-based variables on criminal convictions from the past 45 …
How gambling motives are associated with socio-demographics and gambling behavior - A Finnish population study
Gambling prevalence and gambling problems amongst land-based-only, online-only and mixed-mode gamblers in Australia
Compulsory School Achievement and Future Gambling Expenditure
Even after controlling for other crucial background characteristics, early life success, in the form of compulsory school outcomes, seems to correlate with gambling expenditures later in youth. This suggests that the gambling behaviour can be linked to the cognitive ability of an individual. Our findings also imply that gambling could be more heavily concentrated on individuals that are already more socially disadvantaged. However, it is worth no…
Item Version of the Short Gambling Harm Screen (SGHS-18)
The SGHS-18 comprehensively measures the domains of gambling harm, while demonstrating desirable properties of internal consistency, and criterion and convergent validity
Gambling-Related Harms for Affected Others
Aims This study explores the prevalence of being a past-year affected other (AO) of a problem gambler by gender. The aims were to study the amount and type of gambling-related harms (GRHs) for subgroups of AOs and to distinguish GRH profiles for AO subgroups. Methods A total of 7186 adults aged 18 years and over participated in the Gambling Harms Survey evaluating year 2016. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic …
Associations between gambling severity and criminal convictions
This study addresses criminal convictions, social disadvantage and problem gambling as an interwoven set of problems. It makes use of data from a population-based gambling survey (n = 7,186) conducted in three Finnish regions. The survey data are combined with national registers to examine associations between sociodemographic factors and gambling severity, comparing persons with and without a criminal record. Gambling behavior included past-year…
The prevention paradox applies to some but not all gambling harms
How to Support Prison Workers’ Perceived Readiness to Identify and Respond to Possible Gambling Problems
Problem gambling is known to be prevalent among prisoners. However, it is not systematically screened and often remains undetected. This pilot study explores prison workers’ ( N = 21) knowledge, views, and opinions about problem gambling in two Finnish prisons with a view to improving training and to developing better guidelines for identifying and responding to gambling problems. Four-fifths (81%) of prison workers considered problem gambling a …
Gambling expenditure by game type among weekly gamblers in Finland
It seems that overall gambling frequency is the strongest indicator of high gambling expenditure. Our results showed that different game types had different effect sizes on gambling expenditure. Weekly gambling on horse races and non-monopoly games had the greatest increasing effect on expenditure. However, different game types also varied based on their popularity. The extent of potential harms caused by high expenditure therefore also varies on…
Attitudes towards gambling, gambling participation, and gambling-related harm
Attitudes towards gambling became more positive in all except the youngest age groups. Under-age male gambling continued to decrease. We need to make decision-makers better aware of the continuing growth of online gambling among older people and women's increasing experiences of gambling-related harm. This is vital to ensure more effective prevention
Teacher Awareness and Attitudes Regarding Adolescent Risk Behaviours
Empirical evidence has shown that youth gamble on both regulated and unregulated games, despite legislative prohibitions. This study assesses middle and high school teachers' awareness and attitudes regarding adolescent gambling and other potentially high-risk behaviours in Finland. A convenience sample of teachers ( N = 157) from 13 provinces participated in the survey. The results suggest that teachers in Finland were more knowledgeable of the …
Attitudes towards gambling in Finland
The association between young age, male gender, high net income and risky alcohol consumption, and favourable gambling attitudes was strong, and also reflects risky gambling behaviour. Experiencing gambling-related harms caused by one's own or significant other's excessive gambling seems to indicate unfavourable attitudes towards gambling
Concerned significant others of people with gambling problems in Finland
CSOs of problem gamblers often experience cumulating problems such as their own risky gambling behaviour, health problems and other addictive disorders. The clearest gender difference was seen in smoking by CSO. In order to develop efficient and targeted support and services for CSOs, it is necessary to understand the correlates related to different subgroups of CSOs
