Evidence Review of Remote Treatment Intervention & Support for Gambling Harm

Dr Sasha Stark, Bahar Kundur, Janine Robinson

GambleAware commissions the Serious Gambling Council to regularly review the literature to critically evaluate the current understanding of the effectiveness of interventions and treatments for gambling addiction.

This unique review examines a range of low-cost intervention methods and distance help (excluding helplines). International research is examined to identify areas of consensus and pioneering practice as well as gaps and opportunities for improvement in intervention delivery, evaluation and research.

Remote Interventions: Applying behavioural insights to design better safer gambling tools (Part 2: Commitment devices)

Behavioural Research Group

Deposit limiting tools limit the required amount that customers can deposit into their personal online gambling accounts daily, weekly or monthly and are offered by all licensed distance gambling operators in England. These tools are designed to help consumers limit their costs and control their behaviour.

The audit described in the report provided revealed whether extending the functionality of the usual deposit limiting tool to include a "promise device" would affect the adoption of this tool by purchasers and their subsequent behaviour. A promise device is a voluntary agreement designed to discourage people from not following through on their plans.

Patterns of Play - Gambling behaviour: What can bank transaction data tell us? A feasibility study (Part 2: Analysis of HSBC UK customer data)

Behavioural Research Group

GambleAware's Patterns of Play research program is a large-scale effort to use behavioral data to paint a clearer picture of the different ways people gamble and the impact it is likely to have on them. As part of this program, it was determined that data on banking transactions could provide more detailed information about gambling behavior and new insights into combating gambling harm. The Behavioral Insights Team (BIT) has embarked on a plan to explore the possibility of collaboration with banks and their data to achieve these goals.

Lifting the Lid on Loot-Boxes

The report is a study by the Plymouth Institute and the Walber Empton Institute of Best Research between "boxes with LUTs" in video games and problem gambling, which also reveals special demographic groups that usually use these features.

Within the framework of a research grant (Research Grant gamblareware) awarded to the University of Plymouth and the University of Walber Empton to study games, gameplay and LUTBOXES, the scientists produced a note called "LUTBOXES, problem gambling and problematic video games: regular educational programme and meta-synthesis" and published in the scientific journal "New Media and Society".

Exploring Online Patterns of Play

Since the study was commissioned for this purpose, there is another sense to take the online gambling bazaar.

Safer Gambling Messaging (phase II) - An Impact Evaluation

Messages play an important role in reducing harm from gambling. Messages about non-risky gambling can be, for example, advertisements broadcast on television or notices that appear on the screen at the entrance to online gambling platforms. According to the latest evidence, with the introduction of warning scripts, articulation alignment may be ineffective, so a more individualized alignment used by the operators may have a greater effect. However, a huge proportion of the evidence was obtained in laboratory studies or experiments in remote environments where people usually gamble, and there are doubts about the extent to which good confirmation can be generalized to more natural life. The challenge of the impact evaluation is to complement those with research, learning how gambling operators use messages about irresponsible gambling for their own purchasers in this real-life IRGE.

Safer Gambling Messaging Project evaluation (phase II) - A Process Evaluation

The process of the Safer Gambling Messaging Project Plan A two-step overall evaluation was carried out with the aim of understanding how the plan was implemented and what moments influenced its effectiveness. The process evaluation was designed to complement the conclusions obtained in the impact evaluation. The first part of the process evaluation explored the general creativity process, including the number of perceptions and skills of the operators who created the information messages, as well as identifying the moments that influenced the effectiveness of this process, while clarifying the reality. The second part of the process assessment focused on the time taken to implement the intervention and targeted barriers and moments that contributed to the development and implementation of the interventions and how effective they were perceived to be.

An Integrated Approach To Safer Gambling

Having worked with five operators (Betfred (both retail and digital), Genting Casino, Buzz Bingo, Gamesys (Jackpotjoy brand) and 888 (casino brand)) from early 2019 to summer 2020, Revealing Reality was able to prove that with the right tools and support, operators can make meaningful progress in successfully raising awareness of harmless gambling. Using such a complete framework, operators will take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to spreading information about harmless gambling, which will in turn encourage them to adopt harmless gambling as the default gambling method for all their customers.

Applying behavioural insights to design better safer gambling tools Part 1: Anchoring

This report describes the BIT's work in conducting field trials (testing interventions in real business environments with real customers) with large-scale gambling operators.

Process and Impact Evaluation of the Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion Schemes - Baseline report (Evaluation Phase 1)

The main objective of the evaluation is to learn how the self-exclusion schemes of different operators led to the desired change in attitudes, and to learn about the perceptions and mechanisms of the implementation of the schemes. It also aims to identify unforeseen obstacles to achieving the goal of self-exclusion, which may be targeted for improvement by policymakers in the future.

Evaluating online blocking software

Winning Moves and its partners were allowed to carry out this evaluation between November 2017 and August 2018. The review included technical testing of the software, reviews with industry stakeholders, and specific collaboration with problem players to understand whether and how blocking was necessary.

Can behavioural insights be used to reduce risky play in online environments?

Behavioral Science Team

The development of online gambling sites has made it possible to place bets with just a few clicks of a button. For people with negative attitudes towards gambling, increased accessibility increases the risk of experiencing economic, social and medical harm. In this context, the Behavioral Insights Team (BIT) received an application from GambleAware to carry out the third step of a remote gambling research program aimed at helping operators reduce gambling problems.

Empowering Responsible Online Gambling by Real-time Persuasive Information Systems

In this paper on industry practice and experience, the authors argue that online gambling should be seriously advocated with the support of a convincing information system that uses data on the behavior, experience and profile of online gamblers.

Remote Gambling Research: Interim Report on Phase 2

Those who believe in hot hand expects to win a streak, and those who suffer from gamblers misunderstands will be unreasonably expected to lose consecutive losses. In 2010, the 565. 915 sports bet, which was performed by 776 online gamblers, was analyzed. The winner was more likely to win, and the loser was more likely to lose. However, it was anticipated that online sports gamers would be disadvantageous for online sports gamers to choose a safer odds after winning and to choose a higher risk odds after losing. It shows that. In accordance with the gamblers' errors, they created a hot hand. Some gamblers have always surpassed their peers. They were also consistently won and losing small. They showed their true ability. The key to real experience is the ability to manage losses. < SPAN> This is an evaluation report of DGWH (Don't Gamble with Health), the minimal of gamblin g-dependent pilot projects, based on the provision of Betknowmore UK based on Islington, northern London.
