Analysis of casino online gambling data in relation to behavioural risk markers for high-risk gambling and player protection

Chasing losses in online poker and casino games: Characteristics and game play of Internet gamblers at risk of disordered gambling

“…Over the past few years efforts have been made to design intelligent detection systems to identify markers of risky and disordered gambling using algorithms that analyse player behaviours and interactions (Dragicevic et al, 2011;Gainsbury, 2011;Auer and Griffiths, 2012;Braverman and Shaffer, 2012;Adami et al, 2013). These systems can be used to trigger warning signs for players or notify operators to check in with players in an attempt to minimise harms and prevent gamblers developing serious problems (Gainsbury, 2011;Haefeli et al, 2011).…”
