How structural changes in online gambling are shaping the contemporary experiences and behaviours

How structural changes in online gambling are shaping the contemporary experiences and behaviours of online gamblers: an interview study

Over the past decade, online gambling has been enhanced by increased access, improving betting markets, a wide range of products and productive marketing. However, it has rarely been investigated how such intensification has an impact on modern gambling experiences. In this study, we focused on the following two research issues. 1) What kind of changes have been seen in the online gambling in the past 10 years? 2) How did these changes affect the experience and behavior of the online gambling reported by the gamblers seeking treatment and the gamblers that are not so?

Methods

1) 19 people who have been online gambling for at least 10 years and have not been treated online gambling, 2) 10 people who have recently sought the help of experts due to online gambling issues. The telephone interview was hal f-structured and asked the participants to think about online gambling, including harmful gambling, was affected by the operator's comparison and changes in the online gambling environment. The data was analyzed using the theme analysis.

Results

The speed and convenience of online gambling has improved, and it is now possible to access from anywhere. Both groups emphasized that online gambling advertising and advertising are continuously spread through social media and target marketing, especially during television in sports and games. Many treatment applicants and no n-treatment applicants knew recently introduced a wide range of BETs, especially multiple BETs. The applicants reported in a disproportionate of the negative effects of such changes and explained how to increase gambling, impulsive gambling, sustainability, and training. He also reported that the use and effect of tools to minimize the current harm is limited.

Conclusions

The intensification of online gambling

Increased access

Both healers and no n-therapists have pointed out that gambling opportunities have increased as the speed and convenience of online gambling has improved and accessible from anywhere. Both groups emphasized that online gambling advertisements and advertisements were especially spread through social media and target marketing, especially during TV broadcasting. Many treatment applicants and no n-treatment applicants knew recently introduced a wide range of BETs, especially multiple BETs. The applicants reported in a disproportionate of the negative effects of such changes and explained how to increase gambling, impulsive gambling, sustainability, and training. He also reported that the use and effect of tools to minimize the current harm is limited.

Enhanced betting markets

Contrary to the goal of minimizing the harm of gambling, the change in the industry that has more motivated online gambling and increases the type of complex bed with lower odds. It has an unreasonably impact on individuals and harmful individuals. Gambling policies, industry practices, and public health measures are required to further reduce the harm of gambling in modern situations. It is important to be an important target to attract more complex betting incentives, incorrect prices, and problem gamblers like multiple bets.

A broader product range

Online gambling has been used for the first time in the 1990s, and since then, its range and use have rapidly expanded. Currently, millions of adults around the world use devices connected to the Internet, such as smartphones, computers, and tablets. The online gambling rate in the past year is particularly high in Scandinavian countries, 37 % in Norway, and 36 % in Finland. On the other hand, the United Kingdom (21 %) [3], Australia (17, 5 %) [4], and Canada (6, 4 %) [5] are quite low. These different ratios reflect the differences between the import, legality of online gambling products, and the jurisdiction areas in the practical work of provision. However, online gambling continues to grow over time in legalized countries [6], and has greatly changed how many gambling products are provided and consumed.

Online gambling may promote gambling participation, problems, and harm, and some features have been confirmed in research that are different from land gambling (eg, [7, 8, 9, 10]). 。 This is to be accessible 24 hours a day, immersive, lonely, using digital money, speeding up bed transactions, and receiving gambling advertisements directly with gambling equipment. Includes. However, the characteristics of online gambling are not fixed, and the recent development is said to be "complex, dynamic, and fast" ([11], p. 1). The provision of online gambling is intensifying by increased access, improving the betting market, a wide range of products and productive marketing, which can affect the experience of modern online gamblers. At the same time, the number of minimization tools aimed at supporting sel f-regulation of online gambling is increasing.

Prolific marketing

Since the beginning of online gambling, access to the Internet has increased dramatically, allowing more people to gamble online[12]. Smartphones have provided instant and anywhere access to online gambling, allowing people to incorporate gambling into their daily activities at home and work, while on the move, at social occasions, or when attending betting events[13, 14, 15, 16]. Faster Internet speeds and improved financial transactions on gambling websites and applications have also accelerated the betting process[17, 18].

Harm minimisation tools in online gambling

A major change over the past decade has been the increasing "industrialization" of online gambling, the reproduction of an ecosystem characterized by multinational gaming operators, mass media-supported sports and matches, the digitalization of betting products, and increased sponsorship and gambling advertising[19, 20, 21, 22]. This has manifested itself as several changes as companies set up to succeed in an industry with high competition, limited room for product differentiation, and low customer switching costs[23, 24]. Competitive strategies include offering a variety of online gaming opportunities, product innovation, and extensive marketing.

Operators now offer more betting options online than ever before. The amount of "bettable" sports, racing, and esports events has expanded globally, as has broadcast coverage on television, streaming, and mobile platforms [19, 25]. Combined with 24/7 access, customers can now watch and bet on a variety of domestic and international events at virtually any time of the day, virtually at zero cost [20]. Online casinos offer a wide range of products and allow gambling on a variety of games simultaneously [26]. New forms of gambling have also emerged, such as daily fantasy sports, esports, and betting on an increasing number of novel events, but uptake has been relatively slow [4, 27, 28]. Skins and cryptocurrency have expanded payment options and allowed anonymous use [29, 30].

Methods

Study aims, design and setting

Consumers have widely adopted a wide range of innovations in BET types. Betting markets have increased with the ability to place bets before the start of a match, after the end of a match, and on many contingent actions such as half-time scores [31, 32]. In-game betting increases the risk of gambling harm by allowing players to place many bets per event, make rapid successive bets, and continue or extend betting sessions [18, 33]. Research has shown higher rates of harmful gambling among online gamblers [34, 35, 36], including betting on small events, an accelerated form of betting that requires quick decision-making [37, 38]. New betting products also allow players to change their betting decisions while playing. Cash options make betting an increasingly continuous activity, increasing the potential for loss of control, irrational decision-making, impulsive gambling, increased emotional involvement, and the illusion of control [39, 40, 41]. Additionally, cashing out is associated with an increased likelihood of developing gambling problems [36, 42]. Other types of bets, such as accumulators, multiple balls, and complex bets, may have similar effects as they generally offer less favorable odds and have other structural features that increase susceptibility to gambling harms [32, 41, 42].

Increased competition in the industry has created increased advertising for online gambling. This advertising is widespread across social media, online channels, and instant messaging via email, text, and push notifications [43, 44, 45]. Gaming operators continue to increase their social media presence, utilize social influencers (e. g., affiliate marketers), and increase advertising on streaming platforms and gaming apps [30, 46]. Television advertising continues to be extensive, especially during sporting and athletic events [43, 47, 48, 49]. Online gaming operators also expand their brand exposure through sponsorship of sports and races [24]. Overall, gaming advertising is highly targeted, focusing on sports and social media, promoting brand awareness, complex items with high payoffs, and financial incentives to bet [44, 50]. Financial incentives are the mainstay. They encourage betting by offering “penniless” offers like deposit matches and bonus bets, or “risk mitigation” like return refunds and cash options [19, 32, 51, 52]. Clicking on a promotional link embedded in digital media allows consumers to place a bet immediately.
The intensification of online gambling has been accompanied by the introduction of several consumer protection tools. For example, the Australian government has introduced a National Consumer Protection Framework for Online Gambling. The measures include a voluntary pre-commitment exemption regime for setting deposit limits on betting accounts. In addition, tools such as player activity statements, consistent safe gambling messaging, and a national self-exclusion register will also be introduced. Most licensed operators already offer player activity statements, limit setting, and self-exclusion options. Only a minority of customers make use of these tools[4]. Low-risk players are resilient because they feel they are already in control of their games[54, 55, 56], while high-risk players may not want to limit their play[57] or find it easier to circumvent limitations and self-exclusion by opening additional accounts[58]. Nevertheless, customers who use harm minimization tools tend to find them useful[55, 56, 59]. Despite the rapidly changing industry dynamics described above, there is limited research on how the expansion of the scope and variety of online gambling offerings impacts the contemporary gambling experience for online players in particular, as opposed to players in general. A recent review has pointed to the need for qualitative research to better understand emerging technologies and new trends in gaming[25]. This study helps address this need by focusing on the fastest growing forms of gambling currently available to online gambling, specifically sports, horse racing, and lotteries that can be legally offered to residents[4].

This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of emerging technologies and new trends in gambling through a qualitative interview survey based on the lived experiences of Australian online gamblers. This study focuses on two research questions:

Recruitment and samples

1. What significant changes in online gambling have online gamblers seen over the past decade?

2. How have these changes impacted the online gambling experiences and behaviors reported by treated and non-treated gamblers?

Quantitative data at the same time on online gambling behavior is provided by many studies (for example, [1, 2, 4, 60]), but what are the recent changes in online gambling in the choice of gambling? In order to understand whether it will have an impact, research depends on the life experience of gambling dependents is limited.

Participants

In this study, we recruited two samples from the databases of the participants of the participants in the researchers (reports that were blinded for screening) in the past (reports were blinded for screening). 。 The assembly criteria are over 18 years old.

Analysis

Regardless of age, gender, and place of residence, he called on various participants to participate in an interview by email. In order to avoid excessive extraction, a no n-therapy group candidate sent an invitation email in units of 20. In order to gather the target 20 participants, we sent an email to 102 people, giving a 19. 6 % answer rate. Participants in the desired treatment group were sent to 20 (50 later) invitation emails. In order to gather 10 participants, we sent an email to 452 and gained 2. 2 % of the response. These sample sizes are determined in advance as the funding agency, based on the project timeline and realistic decisions that can be feasible within the budget. This sampling also considers that it is essentially difficult to recruit participants who have called for help from an expert due to online gambling, and this group has a low response rate. It is reflected in.

Ethics

For those who were interested in participation, a link to the information sheet and the consent form was sent by email, where the help service contacts were listed. For those who agreed to participate, the participation qualification was confirmed and the interview time was adjusted over the phone. Researchers interviewed no n-treatment applicants, and provisional registered psychologists interviewed the applicants. The interview is a hal f-structured, so that the participants think about the harmful gambling, including harmful gambling, was influenced by the changes in operators, such as advertising, incentive, gambling products, and financial transactions. I used questions and prompts. In addition, we also considered changes in the environment surrounding online gambling, such as Internet access and access to mobile phones. Interviews were 45 to 60 minutes, transcribed by experts. Participants gave a $ 50 shopping voucher.

Results

Interviews were conducted by 30 participants from five states in Australia. Among them, there were 20 no n-treatment applicants between 32 to 87 years old (M = 55, 9 years old), but one respondent data was online gambling many years ago. It was revealed that there was a history of treatment, and it was excluded from the analysis. Of the remaining 19 participants, 18 were men, mainly gambling sports and horse racing using smartphones. The gambler who wanted to be treated was nine men and one woman, and the age was 21 to 68 years old (M = 41, 8 years old). Seven were mainly sports and horse racing, two were online slots, one was online poker, and mainly gambling using smartphones. Table 1 and Table 2 summarize the main population statistical characteristics and gambling behavior of the participants.

Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's protocol for thematic analysis [63]. After multiple readings of the interview transcripts and familiarization with the data, the analysts developed initial codes by working systematically through each transcript and aggregating codes into potential themes and subthemes using an iterative process of review and refinement. To increase reliability, the analysis was checked by the researcher and a second researcher and further refined to ensure fidelity to key aspects of the participants' reported life experiences. Quotes from participants from the non-treatment subgroup (NTS) and treatment-seeking subgroup (TS) are used to highlight the types of content that influenced the construction of themes in the subsequent results.

This study was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee at Cquniversity (reference number: 22230).

Reported effects of increased ease, speed and access to online gambling

The analysis identified several themes and subthemes regarding the perception of changes in online gambling over the past decade and how these changes were perceived to affect participants' online gambling behavior (Table 3).

Table 3 Themes and subthemes from interviews with treatment-seeking and non-treatment-seeking online players

Participants emphasized that smartphones have given them access to online gambling anytime and anywhere, stating, "Ten years ago, I had to go home and do it on my laptop..." (NTS8). There are more times and places to bet. Most non-treatment seekers preferred to bet at home using their smartphones, explaining the convenience, comfort, ease, anonymity, and quiet environment compared to sporting events or venues. Some also said they had more time to research betting markets and make informed decisions. Others felt that it gave them more discipline and control over their gambling, compared to going out drinking with friends, frequently placing large bets, and chasing losses.

Treatment seekers also preferred to play at home, and most of them used smartphones. Two did not drive because of their illness, and the other two avoided unpleasant, noisy, drunk people, and cigarette smoke. Four treatment seekers preferred the privacy of online betting to avoid being stigmatized. One of them described the “serious effects” of online gambling, including depression and loss of trust in family:

It's very private and nice. I haven't seen anyone, and no one has been criticized ... I still have paranoia from the background so far ... I don't want people to see it. (TS6).

Theme 2. Changes in the advertising of online gambling

Increased advertising

All treatment applicants said how easy it was, quick, and convenient to play at home without any effort to go to the venue. "Wake up ....................................................................... Another treatment applicant who has broken is said, "I just need to relax in my own home. By accessing international events, you can bet on games and sports 24 hours a day." Now 24 hours a day. When I was young, I didn't have an international game and stopped. "

Eleven no n-treatment applicants commented that improving Internet speed has enabled immediate gambling, such as betting in the game, easy use of gambling sites and apps, and accessing the latest betting information. There is. Smartphone improved this immediate use possibility: "There is a lot of information now ... with a smartphone app, the form ................. See "(NTS17). In contrast, "I had to wait a few years ago until the result came out ... but now ... everything is ... I understand "(NTS1).

The people who seek treatment seemed to be able to act quickly and easily to the bet and start the bed: "In 20 seconds, you can do everything from turning on your mobile phone ...... There is no need to go anywhere or make a call. "(TS2). It's very private and nice. I haven't seen anyone, and no one has been criticized ... I still have paranoia from the background so far ... I don't want people to see it. (TS6).

Increased social media advertising and push marketing

I don't want people to see it. (TS6).

Theme 3. Changes in inducements for online gambling

Amount and types of inducements

Non-treatment seekers reported that faster deposit and withdrawal methods for betting transactions made it easier to earn money and made online gambling more attractive. Several treatment seekers reported beneficial changes, such as the recent shortening of delays in withdrawing funds, which made gambling winnings less tempting. Treatment seekers also mentioned drawbacks, such as the ease of using large amounts of money, with bets at the touch of a button. One treatment seeker reported that it had a "huge impact" because deposits that were previously inaccessible until the next day could now be bet immediately (TS10). The change removed the delays that had helped them control their bets, and prevented them from chasing losses immediately. He explained that a "trap" that allowed for easy transfers from a bank account to a betting account made it easier to continue betting and pay losses. Another treatment seeker reported that withdrawals could be reversed within 8 hours, making it easier to chase losses (TS2).

Financial transactions were faster, but treatment applicants reported that some operators required betting account verification for withdrawals, which was not required for account opening or deposits. It can take days to verify your account, during which time your winnings can disappear:

Reported effects of inducements on online betting

It's so easy to deposit..... 5 seconds and burn.... Then it's so hard to withdraw.... It can take 24 hours to verify your account.... by that time your money is already spent. (TS6)".

Non-treatment seekers observed that the increased convenience and speed of online gambling increased the likelihood of harm, with three reporting periods of reduced control. The reduced cooling period between items increased the likelihood of chasing losses:

If you have to hit.... you have a bit more of a cooling period than if you're doubling up a bit. If you can take a punt online.... it speeds things up and makes it possible" (NTS19).

Another non-treatment seeker described being "on the hill" when online gambling became reckless and out of control, and escalating losses led to emotional frustration and abandoning planned gambling strategies (NTS2). However, most non-treatment-seeking individuals did not report any harmful effects from their changes in access to online gambling, explaining that they prioritise their family's well-being and decide when and how to stop gambling.

In contrast, treatment applicants reported that gambling frequency and expenditure have increased because access to online gambling has become more convenient and easier: "If you cannot access online gambling, gambling is 80. The %would have been reduced. "(TS2). If you couldn't access online gambling, I think the frequency of gambling was reduced by 80%. "(TS2). Participants who played online slots (Pocky) and experienced "serious financial problems" explained: "If you go to a normal club ... it will close ... online Pocky. , 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you can play at any time ... thanks to that, you can play more. "(TS3).

The applicants were aware that online gambling, especially the privacy on smartphones, would make it easier to hide from their families: "Online gambling can be done more secretly ... because it can be done on a mobile phone. "I just email my friends" (TS10). Three treatments for treatment were attracted to the immersive online gambling. "Online Pocky] was done for hours at once," (TS3).

All participants pointed out that online gambling ads were increasing rapidly on all media platforms, especially in the middle of a TV broadcast event:

It is on your face. It's everywhere ... Radio station ............................................. All bloo d-covered ads are displayed. Facebook ... Notification ... TV ... PC ... Soccer game ... poster of stadium ... I don't think there's a day I don't see anything. (TS6)

Treatment applicants who bet on sports and races are further increasing the opportunities for this advertisement by watching sports and racing programs and networks. "I often watch Skytell and watch TVN, so I watch it anywhere" (TS10).

Theme 4. Changes in betting products

New bet types used

Participants frequently received social media and marketing messages for online gambling marketing, such as email, notification, text messages, and telephones. A no n-treatment applicant believed that a huge amount of social media advertisement began a few years before the gambling advertisement was suppressed during a sporting event on television. He said, "I bother you, send me text messages and calls ... I sometimes get a phone call ... almost every Friday night ............................. Explained that the " e-mail" (NTS6) account manager was assigned.

Reported effects of new bet types on online gambling

The things I follow are related to gambling, so I see them on Twitter. On my Facebook page. I see them everywhere” (TS10), “On my Facebook page. On Facebook. I see them a little on Instagram, on Snapchat... I see them a little on YouTube” (TS2).

Some non-treatment seekers found the ads annoying, persistent and obnoxious, so they blocked or ignored them: “They’re greedy and they’re trying to target you” (NTS1). However, one person said they gamble, and another said it’s normal to look into the offers in ads. Some treatment seekers said they were not affected by online gambling ads because they ignored them or stopped using social media. However, some were tempted by the ads to sign up to new betting sites, even after they had self-unsubscribed from other sites:

I saw a new site pop up (in the ad) and I definitely signed up to the site 100%. I was like, Damn, I’m not joining. I’m self-unsubscribed from other sites. This is a new thing I can join. Beauty”. (TS6)

Another treatment seeker who had been hit hard financially and subsequently stopped playing online slots reported that she still received emails from online casinos. She was concerned that these ads still had the power to lure her to play. Some treatment seekers argued that gambling ads should be limited by regulation because they are “overwhelming…especially if you have problems” (TS8).

Sixteen non-treatment seekers used incentives, but some stopped receiving these offers after previous wins. Non-treatment causes reported that incentives were still productive but peaked a few years ago when the industry was more competitive. Potentially misleading inducements had decreased: “Bonuses…were not regulated in the old days. Bonuses…were not regulated back then. Non-treatment causes noted that prompts now have stricter conditions, such as time limits. However, many of them reported that they have accounts with multiple operators in order to take advantage of the best incentives.

In contrast, treatment seekers reported that the number and type of traffic increased rapidly, was promoted by all operators, and included deposit bonuses, bonus bets, bonus credits, prize chains, money promotions, chance boosts, protest payouts, prize multipliers, free spins and credits for online pokies. They also received incentives through direct marketing:

Especially on Fridays.... most people bet on Saturdays, so they send all the text messages and promos. (TS10)

Some non-treatment etiquette acknowledged enduring motivation. One participant noted how tempted he was by bonuses, but acknowledged the importance of staying in control:

You deposit $1000 and get a $200 bonus. Why not spend it? If you can control your gambling.... if you can't control your gambling, it might not be a good idea. (NTS9)

Newer forms of online gambling

Other non-treatmentrs stated that they always look at the terms and conditions and research a new provider before signing up: "Just checking exactly what the provider is offering....(additionally) should be something that really catches your eye when you're thinking about opening an account" (NTS6).

Reported effects of newer forms on online gambling

Non-treatment causes carefully evaluate the value of incentives before using them. Some have studied contingencies, combining individual components so that the value of the incentive exceeds what they would get without it. Despite this cautious attitude, some non-treatment volunteers reported being attracted to the incentives, especially the bonus bet.

Theme 5. Use of harm minimisation tools

In contrast, treatment-seeking participants did not exercise caution or try to ascertain the true value of the factor before undertaking it. Instead, they reported being highly motivated: "I gave in to the temptation.... Yes, I'm going to jump in" (TS6). They cited a number of disadvantages, such as spending too much to meet turnover conditions; not reading the conditions and not being eligible for the bonus or being unable to withdraw the benefits; placing riskier items on big downloads with financial offers; or impulsively betting on a promotion before researching the bet, then chasing losses afterwards. Some treatment-seekers reported being quick to accept the bonus bet, even if it meant spending more than they had planned:

Activity statements

If you get a phone call, you will act immediately: If you get a phone call saying, "Look at $ 250", you will act immediately ... that's overwhelmingly strong ... 50. I used $ 250 because I could only prepare the dollar, but because I got a phone call. (TS2).

Another treatment applicant stated that he felt like a "true hypocrite and bad guy" because he continued to lie to his family and suffered a lot of business success. He mentions how the bonus bet has promoted gambling spiral problems:

Even at 9am in the morning because of the bonus ... I'm already betting $ 150 in the first three games ... If you lose, you fall into the same spiral every day.

Deposit limits

Those who seek treatment also reported that they would shop for the best incentives. As a result, the number of bets accounts, the time spent on gambling activities, and the number of agents received later increased.

Multiple Bunch was popular among some no n-treatment applicants and was the most popular BET among treatment applicants. Other exotic beds mentioned by both teams include prediction unpredictures (initial scores/ punishment games, etc.) and complex unprecedented predictions (hal f-time leads, but lost in the game. (Teams, etc.) are included. Online playbets are prohibited in Australia, so this sample seems to be suppressed. This ban also seems to suppress the use of cash options. The seven people who did not search have been using only betting exchanges after the success of the betting before, and after other operators banned the betting exchange. They were very critical of corporate bookmakers, saying, "Basically, they are looking for losers and people who lose money."

Most participants reported that the recently introduced betting options have significantly increased the number of betting. One of the no n-therapist researchers examined and selected individual items, and then logically added multiple bets. His expense was modest, but several police officers increased his expenses:

In the same multi race ... consuming a little ... extra ... extra ... and putting a bet ... and ... Multi pair ....................

Treatment seekers find multi-pools particularly attractive because they allow them to place larger bets after winning smaller bets in hopes of a life-changing... big collect" (TS10). They state that multi-bets have increased their participation in betting because they are particularly attractive, offer more options, and allow them to choose according to their preferred team and certain unpredictability. You can choose who the testers will be, when they will try, and even if they will try at all" (TS2). Multi-bets may increase emotional involvement in betting:

Self-exclusion

When I first started... I bet $2 on a match.... And I dream of making it over $50, $60. Then I bet $10, $20, then I bet $50, and I lose again.... That's my betting pattern. (TS6)

Non-treatment subjects who received exotic bets were careful to first make sure they understood the odds and terms. One non-treatment volunteer noted the "overwhelming" selection of exotic bets and reported that they sometimes struggle to resist these risky bets because they are an attractive way to chase losses:

They encourage you to spend money.... long shots.... when you start losing, you get a little desperate so you're more inclined to take them.... I try to be pretty disciplined.... sometimes it's a struggle.... they put in offers that are designed to challenge you to take them. (NTS10).

They limit their bets to lead bets. Others described the vast range of exotic betting options now available: "There's no limit to what you can do.... you can basically customize it" (TS2).

Perceived adequacy of harm minimisation tools

Some participants tried betting on games but found the phone system ineffective. However, two treatment seekers reported betting live figures over the phone if they thought it might work: "When I'm watching a game and I see the momentum shifting.... I'll take a shot at it, I'll take a bet.... I might put in like $200" (TS4). The use of the cash option was mentioned by only one participant, who found it attractive because “if you bet now, you can make five or six extra bets” (NTS10).

A no n-therapeutic treatment using a betting exchange that performs arbitrage betting is a survey and a considerable expense, but the risk is low: "Speaking of sports events in order to get a little profit regardless of the results. To support and recruit the same runners and competitors (NTS13).

Most no n-treatment applicants knew new gambling products such as e-sports betting, daily fantasy sports betting, and skin gambling. However, only two people have reached any of these, and the rest prefer to bet on the activities they understand: "I don't want to try exotic sports that I don't know at all. That's because I didn't understand the value (NTS10). Nobody would like to treat such new products.

Discussion

Due to the low level of participants, the results of these new activities were not reported.

Ease and speed of access

Activities statements, deposits limit, sel f-exclusion, expiration options, and account closure were used differently by participants.

Advertisements and inducements

A 1 0-no n-treatment applicant was regularly compared to the bank transaction statement that uses the activity statement to update the deposits and withdrawals. Those who did not use have criticized the fact that the system to be downloaded to access the statement is inconvenient, the amount of information is difficult and difficult to understand, and that the monthly statement is too old and useless.

Bet types

Only two people used the treatment statement, one of which used only once after suffering significant losses on the weekend. The same participants explained that the statements available on the operating company's website include only the latest transactions, and had to contact the operating company directly to obtain a lon g-term statement. 。 By looking at the whole picture of this statement, he lowered the level of the game slightly:

Banning of successful bettors

When I looked at the total amount, I thought, "Oh, this person has to refrain a little." After that, I really did that. Suspended for about a week ... I stopped playing for about a week ... I think I can control a little now. (TS2)

Use of harm minimisation tools

Two of the no n-treatment applicants have set up payments as safe guards, but the rest reported that they can control gambling just by betting a small amount: .. I lost ... If it became a problem, I would think (NTS3).

Regulatory effectiveness

Some applicants use payment restrictions, which restricts some of the pushbet and reduces financial damage:

I set limits on deposit amounts.... push bets are killer. I want to chase the bets but if I can't get money in my account I can't do any more damage. (TS10)

In contrast, others who set limits increased them when the minimum period passed and their self-control decreased:

Limitations

I sit down for three weeks once and go back to setting whatever limits I want again... I've been blowing it for years thinking I'll be good and set a limit. And then after a month I think, "No, I want to change." (TS6)

Further research

Non-treatment people usually consider self-exclusion a useful tool for other people but not necessary for them. Some treatment seekers had self-excluded from a number of operators but opened accounts with others. One reported using his wife's details to open a new account with an operator that had been blocked. Operators may also try to prevent self-exclusion by pointing out the difficulty of re-opening accounts and that customers will never be able to open an account again:

Conclusion

I knocked on their door and said, "I want to close my account but I need a letter from a psychologist or counsellor to reopen it." So basically, it's going to cost me to follow up and execute on that..... so I went into another (operator)" (TS5).

Availability of data and materials

Treatment seekers explained that self-extension depends on getting to the point where you want to stop gambling and having the willpower to self-extend. This interviewee noted that they tried it temporarily, but with limited success:

References

I wasn't strong enough to stop gambling so I thought, "I'll just take a three-month break from this company." Then two days later, a week later, two weeks later I find another company again. So a break doesn't work. You need a permanent representation. (TS4)
Almost all applicants feel unrealistic to expect gambling patients to manage gambling themselves. They supported the improvement of operators' practices, such as checking, betting, betting sites, and spreadsheets that summarize betting transactions. Some of the applicants also believed that operators should actively monitor harmful gambling behavior, intervene to check customer welfare, and eliminate them as needed.
Otherwise, the applicant thought that the government would need government regulations to do nothing to deter the most profitable customers:
I think the role of the government is great. I think the government has a major role. I need to be more strict ... I don't think the law is stronger enough to stop the problem children.
At the beginning of the gambling, researchers said that they could identify a large number of characteristics distinguished from land gambling and increase harmful risks (eg, 7 to 10). This research has expanded this focus to find out how recent changes in online gambling have affected modern gambling, including harmful gambling. The main discovery is that hig h-risk online gambling dependents, which are shown in recent treatments for recent treatments, have reported the most negative impact on recent changes in many aspects of online gambling. This includes simpler and quick access, continuous diffusion of advertising and traffic, and expansion of innovative betting products.

Both treatment and non-treatment participants noted the increased speed and convenience of online gambling, with immediate access from anywhere at any time [13, 14, 15]. Both groups appreciated the instantaneous provision of betting information, the ability to place bets, and the ease and convenience of gambling from home. Both groups also acknowledged that the easy access around the clock increased their opportunities to bet. This quick and easy access to bets, combined with a short cooling-off period, led some non-treatment participants to experience episodes of losing control, but most self-regulated their gambling to within reasonable limits. In contrast, treatment-seekers reported that the ease and private access to bets around the clock, the lack of constraints such as site visits, closing times, and social crises, led to increased online gambling. Both groups reported that faster monetary transactions made gambling easier, but only treatment-seekers discussed the associated disadvantages. For them, the ease of transferring funds to a betting account led to impulsive betting and the rapid loss of large amounts of money, which in turn encouraged persistence and loss payouts. Difficulty in separating funds from betting accounts
Both groups discussed how online gambling advertisements and incentives continue to proliferate across all media, especially during televised sporting and racing events, on social media, and through targeted marketing promotions in texts, alerts, and emails. Online gamblers have previously stated that they are inundated with gambling advertisements and are especially tempted by frequent gambling incentives [8, 67, 68]. Treatment-seekers further increased their exposure to such marketing by watching sports and horse racing programming and viewing gambling-related content, which increased gambling advertisements in their social media feeds. Both groups also appeared to be targeted based on their past gambling performance, with successful gamblers being excluded from incentives and less successful gamblers being inundated with incentives. Given the dose-response effect between exposure to gambling advertisements and gambling behavior, increased exposure may explain in part why treatment-seekers were more persuaded by advertisements compared to non-treatment-seekers [24, 69, 70]. Additionally, high-risk gamblers tend to report greater influence and motivation to gamble from gambling advertising [8, 44, 71]. Treatment-seekers stated that they were lured by:
Many treatment-seekers and non-treatment-seekers were aware of a wide range of recently introduced BET types, of which multi-bet was the most commonly mentioned. Treatment-seekers discussed how multi-bet increased their enthusiasm and emotional involvement in betting, how it enhanced their sense of competence in betting choices, and how it increased their desire to place a larger bet if the previous leg won. Betting on games and complex contingencies was also popular. Non-treatment-seekers reported approaching these bets with caution, first assessing the potential value, recognizing that it is a long-shot, and recognizing that there will be temptations to chase losses. In contrast, almost all treatment-seekers had incorporated exotic bets into their betting patterns, including multiple elements, accumulators, and complex elements. These long-haul bets are the least profitable bets for gamblers, as the house is higher and they are unlikely to be positive in the long term regardless of skill. However, they are particularly attractive to high-risk gamblers because of their higher potential win rates [32, 39, 41]. As all contingencies are required for payouts, these bets also increase the chances of near misses, which may motivate further gambling[41]. Total
Several respondents reported that betting operators banned them, limited their bet amounts, or excluded them from promotions and rewards after they had previously been successful at betting. Crucially, operators were only interested in more profitable customers who had suffered larger losses. While some reported that these gamblers switched to betting exchanges, other researchers in Australia highlighted that banned gamblers also chose to use illegal offshore sites, with limited consumer protection[76]. Of 347 Australian sports or racing bettors who had bet with offshore operators, 13, 8% reported “no bet or account restrictions” as an advantage of betting[4]. Thus, bans against successful gamblers appear to be directing some customers to unlicensed betting operators who may have few measures in place to minimize harm.
Most respondents were aware of tools to minimize online gambling harms (e. g. player activity records, deposit limits, self-exclusion). However, their use and apparent effectiveness was limited. Those not in treatment felt no need to use these tools, although some used player activity statements to get information about gambling expenditures. Those seeking treatment used a range of tools, but their effectiveness was often short-lived and undermined by the ease with which they could change limits or open new accounts to avoid self-exclusion. They strongly supported regulation requiring operators to proactively carry out affordability and customer welfare checks, monitor harmful gambling behaviour and remove customers if necessary. They considered it unrealistic to rely on self-regulation tools given the weakening of control over gambling.
Some of the findings suggest that regulation may be effective in reducing gambling harms. In-play betting and cash-out options were underreported in this sample. However, other Australian studies have found in-game betting to be fairly widespread across venues, over the phone and by unlicensed operators.[4] In-play betting, including cash-out options, encourages quicker, more intensive betting sessions where players can re-bet wins or chase losses over a series of consecutive betting opportunities [18, 31]. Such harmful behaviour is reflected in the incidence of gambling problems among in-game bettors, which is three to four times higher than among out-of-game bettors [4, 45].
As you can see in this sample, the use of i n-game betting is relatively small in Australia, so you can see that the regulations can be narrowed down to reduce online gambling problems and increases. Based on this survey and advance research, further restrictions contribute to the goal of harm by restricting the provision of exotic betting, including multiple beds [32, 39, 41], and reducing online gambling ads and incentives. There is a possibility [8, 44, 71, 72, 73]. For example, gambling companies prohibit sports sponsors and prohibit online gambling direct marketing can significantly reduce the spread of current ads and incentives. Rather than canceling the drawer, it regulates that you can easily and quickly withdraw money from the betting account, the customer manages online gambling expenditures well, and reduces the subsequent financial losses. It will be useful.
Contrary to the regulations of minimizing gambling harm and the target of the industry, the change in the industry over the past decades has weakened sel f-regulation and is struggling to maintain and recover gambling. It has been reported that the actions have worsened. In contrast, the harmful effects of those who did not receive treatment were limited. Therefore, the results of this study have an unreasonably impact on the industries that make online gambling a simpler, quick and intense motivation, and increase the type of exotic beds with lower odds. It suggests that gambling loss is harmful to individuals who are the most profitable customers [78, 79, 80]. Problemed gamblers have reported that the control of gambling is reduced and the use of functions to minimize harm is restricted, so consumer protection is not only sel f-regulated tools, but also safer online. It is necessary to expand to regulate gambling products and industry practices. As you can see in this sample, in Australia, the use of i n-game betting is relatively low, so that it is possible to narrow down the regulations to reduce issues related to online gambling and increase in losses. I understand.

In Australia, online provisions of casino games, slot machines, and betting machines are prohibited, and all types of online gambling surveys are limited. There is a limit to the generalization of this survey, because the number of samples is small, the interview is mainly for men, and the data saturation has not been achieved. If the number of samples is large, the saturation of the data may be more reliable, and the theme, viewpoint, experience, and comments may be identified. The average age of the two groups is different, and the age may be biased between sub samples. Groups who did not want treatment were significantly large because they set up online games for about 10 years. The use of different investigators in the two subamers may have influenced the results. In addition, the results may be affected by recall bias and social desire bias. However, by utilizing the experience of the participants, a richer insight could be obtained in quantitative research, and the potentially harmful changes in online gambling were identified.
Whether or not the harmful online gambling has increased is an unresolved but important issue. By measuring the aging of gambling harm, you can better understand how the characteristics of online gambling affect the adverse effects in various gambling risk groups. Furthermore, early research suggests that online gambling does not increase gambling problems, and participation in gambling instead of online gambling explains the high gambling problem of online gambling users. Not concluded [35, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86]. However, the latest population survey revealed that participation in online gambling is related to higher gambling severity after controlling the form of gambling and the number of major population statistics. 。 It is unknown whether these contrasting results are due to recent changes in online gambling, but to provide information to policies and regulations targeting particularly harmful characteristics and improve consumer protection.

The main changes in online gambling in the past 10 years include convenience and speed, continuous spread of advertising and prompts, and introduction of many innovative beds. Hig h-risk online gamblers reported that these changes were disproportionate due to these changes, such as increased gambling, impulsive gambling, sustainable gambling, and crying gambling. The recent change in online gambling that worsens the harmful gambling behavior of vulnerable online gamblers is contrary to the purpose of policy and practice to minimize gambling harm, and the spread and impact of the current minimum minimization tools are limited. It is a target. Gaming policies, industry practices, and public health measures are more effective in order to most effective the harm of gambling in the modern environment. In particular, it is important to be an important focus on mult i-bet's complex elements, incorrect prices, and excessive attractive gamblers. Such an encouraging bet is targeting a low odds, and the successful gambler is expelled from the game by an online betting provider. This combination is clear
