“…It is also important to consider the quality of these studies to determine the most reliable and valid results. For example Hing et al 70 , who reported a difference in harm between genders, score only 0.64 in our quality assessment. This suggests that their results may not be as robust as Raisamo et al 43 who scored 1.00 and reported no differences in harm between the genders.…”

“…Hing et al 70 interviewed Indigenous Australians and reported that female gamblers from small villages and male gamblers from towns both experienced similar harms. However, both of these groups were also heavy commercial gamblers, meaning they played at casinos and other commercial establishments.…”

“…Breen et al 61 found that card games led to nancial losses and lost welfare bene ts, whereas commercial gambling led to nancial hardship, family and relationship issues, mental health issues, crime, eviction, homelessness, domestic violence, neglect, relationship breakdown, depression, suicidality, theft, and sold belongings. Hing et al 70 reported that heavy card players spent their pensions, borrowed money, and played all day and night. Similarly, heavy commercial players gambled alone, spending their whole pay and playing all day and night.…”

Background: Here we present a systematic review of the existing research into gambling harms, in order to determine whether there are differences in the presentation of these across demographic groups such as age, gender, culture, and socioeconomic status, or gambling behaviour categories such as risk severity and play frequency. Primary and Secondary Outcome Measures: Inclusion criteria were: 1) focus on gambling harms; 2) focus on harms to the gambler rather than affected others; 3) discussion of specific listed harms and not just harms in general terms. Exclusion criteria were: 1) research of non-human subjects; 2) not written in English; 3) not an empirical study; 3) not available as a full article.Methods: We conducted a systematic search using the Web of Science and Scopus databases in August 2020. Assessment of quality took place using Standard Quality Assessment Criteria.Results: A total of 59 studies published between 1994 and 2020 met the inclusion criteria. These were categorised into thematic groups for comparison and discussion. There were replicated differences found in groups defined by age, socioeconomic status, education level, ethnicity and culture, risk severity, and gambling behaviours. Conclusion: Harms appear to be dependent on specific social, demographic and environmental conditions that suggests there is a health inequality in gambling related harms. Further investigation is required to develop standardised measurement tools and to understand confounding variables and co-morbidities. With a robust understanding of harms distribution in the population, Primary Care Workers will be better equipped to identify those who are at risk, or who are showing signs of Gambling Disorder, and to target prevention and intervention programmes appropriately.

Risk Perception in Gambling: A Systematic Review

Perception of the consequences of risk affects motivation and behaviour. In gambling, distorted expectations and preferences towards outcomes are associated with significant social and clinical harms. A systematic review was conducted to examine the relationship between gambling risk perception and behaviour. Sixteen studies met inclusion criteria. Studies provided evidence that disordered gamblers hold both more optimistic overall perceptions of risk, and a mixture of more positive and more negative specific outcome expectations. Preliminary evidence suggests a range of contextual and individual differences moderate risk perception affecting decision-making. Disordered gamblers appear to sustain motivation to gamble, despite more negative expectations and experiences, via cognitive processes that result in preferential emphasis on positive over negative outcomes. Given potential differences in the perception of risk between various categories of gamblers, clinicians should take into account how gamblers in treatment view gambling as a risky behaviour. Improving the accuracy of such perceptions may reduce the propensity for risk-taking behaviours.
