Statistically, this figure seems to be insignificant. However, for those who meet the diagnostic criteria for gaming disorders (about 2 to 4 million, up to 2 % of the United States' adult population), this condition is destructive, can change life and threaten life.

As a symptom, start gambling to overcome emotions such as the irritable impulses of wanting to gamble with a higher bet, the excitement, the excitement, the frustration, guilt, anxiety, and depression. There are, such as chasing losing.

Many institutions are working to solve the mystery of this strange obstacle. Among them are international centers (ICRG) for serious gambling, national gambling addiction measures (NCPG), stat e-level organizations and support organizations such as Gamblers Annimus.

However, the largest player, the National Institute of Health (NIH), has not participated in this event.

Ten years ago, gambling addiction was first featured as a behavior (other than drugs) in "Diagnosis and Statistical Manual" (DSM-5). However, the U. S. government (although this year has been assigned $ 43 billion to the prevention and treatment of drug addiction), "I have not assigned a money" for the treatment of the problem gambling. According to Felicia Glondin, CCGNJ, the Gambling Administration Council, New Jersey.

Therefore, each state and casino operating companies are assigned their own judgment. New Jersey's Gambling Additional Council (CCGNJ) is engaged in activities such as public education, vocational training, and introduction of gambling addicted patients, and has received funding from the state through a license holder of casinos and online gambling. There is.

Grondin says that funds are important and welcome, but the amount is poor. "In 2021, New Jersey's total income was third in the United States, but fell to 19th in 42 states, highlighting the treatment and prevention method of gambling."

That year, the amount of investment per person in New Jersey was "34 cents". Regardless of the limited resources, Grondin says. "We must continue to prove our thoughts to people."

The Only Game in Town

Critics argued that the role of the industry that provides funds to the intervention is skeptical, and that the research on funding funds is definitely biased. The ICRG Board is a member of Caesters Entertainment, Win Resorts, and Las Vegas Sands Corporation. NCPG sponsors include Caesars, Las Vegas Sands, NFL, Fanduel, and Mohegan Gaming.

However, James P. Waylan protects the fairness of the research. Director of the Tenesa Gambling Institute of Education (Tiger), who has been funded by ICRG, said, "The donors of the industry have the right to vote and have the right to talk about important problems from their perspective, but decided on a research program. There is nothing to do. "

Without ICRG, you can't ask questions like us. This is not money, but there is no other way because the federal government is silent. "

According to Christin Leiri, the secretar y-general of the ICRG, accounting manager, and senior scientific director, all applications are independent judges and the scientific advisory committee of the organization that makes the final decision of the subsidy. It is said to be evaluated by the meeting (NK).

"Neither the Managing Board nor the Donor has a voting right, and it doesn't affect the ICRG support content," Rayley says. "Thanks to this mechanism, we can focus only on profits when considering and selecting a subsidy project."

Recently, Ted Heartwell has been appointed Secretar y-General of the Gambling Council of Nevada. Heartwell, which is recovering from gambling addiction, acknowledges that most of MGRK's research in this field is funded by the help of the industry.

"There was enough barrier between the origin and the dollar, and the science was generally wonderful," said Heartwell. "I know that gambling is addictive because the industry is contributing to this process."

Since its establishment, ICRG (established as a national organization in 1996) has since its establishment, online intervention for patients with gambling addiction at universities, and whether medical workers and individuals have gamblin g-dependent issues. It has invested more than $ 31 million in research and public programs that can be used.

NCPG, which has a headquarters in Washington, aims to form a national policy in this field. The no n-profit organization, established in 1972, does not perform legal gambling activities, but also provides educational services to federal governments, state governments, tribal governments, and international government agencies.

NCPG is also a 1-800-Gambler network that became a nationwide number-trade phone in June 2022, and a backing of the annual meeting on gambling issues.

Growing Problem, Growing Awareness, or Both?

In a 2021 study, NCPG interviewed 2, 000 adults about their gambling habits. The study found that from 2018 to 2021, an additional 26 million people placed bets online and 15, 3 million more sports balls (this growth occurred as sports legal fees began to develop, iGaming- grew, and also given the pandemic in 2020-21).

From 2018 to 2022, revenue from online shops and sports betting in New Jersey increased by 870%, which Grondin explains is partly due to advertising. In 2020, operators spent $292 million on television advertising alone. A year later, that number increased to $725 million.

"You see gambling ads every day, especially in sports betting and online shops," Grondin says. "We're constantly advertising gambling in advertising, on the radio and on TV. The more revenue we get, the more calls we get."

This may indicate an increase in problem gambling. But it could also mean an increase in awareness and an increase in players who are forced to seek help. "Traditionally, the emergence of new gambling opportunities brings temporary growth, which fades over time," Willia says. As for sports and iGaming charges, "I don't think the sky is falling, but we need a national study to really assess the situation."

Public health risks are a concern with any new technology, such as cars and televisions, and online gambling is no exception. But we need evidence to prove potential harm.

As more legal gambling options become available and operators take a tougher stance, so too is the availability of gambling, which has raised concerns. "From a culture where before you had to go by car to gamble, now you just need to pick up a phone," Willia says.

When using "sports votting" apps, they offer you bets during the competition - parries in the context of the game, actual bets and details within the game. And we know that intensive advertising affects people who are already experiencing problems.

According to Hartwell, an increase in calls to support services "doesn't automatically increase the number of people getting into trouble. They just know, 'Oh, here's help for what I've come across.'" It's a good thing that 800 gamblers' numbers are now appearing in adverts: "The presence of the National Trust phone number is really important - it's instantly recognisable and memorable.

The unable to access trusted data on gambling addiction is to solve this difficulty, as well as the statistics of "1 %" (some information providers consider the ratio of gambling addiction to be higher). It may be restricted to recruit measures at the state level.

Time for Washington to Intervene?

"In addition, one percent of the population is the same for millions of people," says Wylan. "Is the harm expanding? I don't take into account. Nobody can know this so far, and the federal government's shortage is not allowed to ask this problem honestly. 。

"At the Federal Level, it is customary to leave everything to the discretion of the state. Apart from this, NIH has no natural mechanisms to fund these research. There is a university to solve, but there is no general research on gambling and mental action drugs at this level. do not have.

Probably this opportunity will be noticed. According to the NCPG website, the laws related to the recovery, investment, and treatment of proposed gambling addiction (Grit) 50 % of federal goods taxes on sports for the treatment and research of gambling addiction. Considering the allocation. The 75 % of the 75 % will be distributed to states under available resource block subsidies and treatment block subsidies for the prevention and treatment of gambling addiction.

Call Vogoman, a government manager in charge of NCPG, said that the bill would be submitted to Richard Blendal, a member of the Senator of Connecticut.

"Oh, this should definitely be realized," says Wylan. "Our legal abilities are unreasonably guaranteed the federal government to achieve the accuracy and knowledge of who is appropriate by asking important questions. It requires the importance of funding. "

In the late 1990s, scientists in Nevada devised a program called "Modelurino, a framework with a scientific layout for gambling." This paper was published in Journal of Gambling Studies in 2004 and emphasized their obligations as granite, which is the cornerstone of a serious layout for gambling, and to provide customers with risks. I preached.

As you can see on the ICRG website, the manufacturer "has called for medical, scientists, gambling supporters, elections elected regulatory institutions, social fans, and buyers to solve gambling problems." 。 The Rino model, which ignored this, has been disagreeing with gambling operators, emphasizing the duty to show attention and defend consumers.

Heartwell believes this is a common responsibility. "We need to increase the obligation to guarantee these frames and the government, so we will be able to seek more personal responsibilities. Wear a thre e-footed straw. I need it. "

‘The Three-Legged Stool’

He also believes that it is possible to "return people to healthy actions before becoming addicted", which can create a stable base for players.

"I myself, (play disorders) chronic, and it was a human life that took time over time. But if I could find it earlier, or if I was more aware of some warning signs, this would be like this. I don't know the lon g-term stability that doesn't sell the product directly to those who have problems.

Thank you for Johnson, Royal Customer. Thank you for Johnson, Royal Customer. For the past five years, your average use has grown at this level in the past three months. We just wanted to contact you and confirm that everything was fine.

"There is evidence that aggressive and individual messages can bring people back to more sustainable behaviors. (Businesses) can encourage people who use RG tools and provide incentives for that. Maybe. "

If existing organizations receive funds from Washington, they will be able to study the causes of gambling addiction, develop the best solutions, improve existing programs, and add new programs. Glondan wants a social advertisement. There is no such thing now.

It also supports "advertising regulations" developed in the UK and European Union (EU). "We are working to formulate a warning that is dangerous, causing poisoning and causing catastrophic consequences in life, but we need to increase funds.

Heartwell wants to raise young people's awareness. "The action starts here. After all, in order to convey a responsible attitude toward gambling, we start with education, identify people who are likely to develop into gambling problems, and are healthy before it becomes a realistic state. There is also a research that is possible to actively work to return to action.

He calls the Git method "Win-Win options". He has already planned the federal government but has never been used for gambling.

Wylan also supports federal intervention and lon g-term assistance from the gambling industry. Industry and local government regulators are obliged to protect their social obligations for those who feel harm to gambling.

"I hate them when I talk about this, but I don't want to be like a tobacco industry," he says. On the other hand, he added, "I believe they are acting correctly."

ICRG offers a successful competition to provide funds to the highest quality research only to submit a subsidy data order to scientists around the world.
