“…While it is tempting to conclude the Internet may enable problematic gambling behaviour, it is more likely that problem gamblers are more frequent gamblers in general and gamble on a wider range of activities, including activities via the Internet. The reasons individuals offer for gambling online tend also to be factors that have the potential to lead to sustained and problematic gambling (i.e., ease of access, flexibility of use, 24-hour availability, large gambling choice, and anonymity) (Cotte & Latour, 2009;Griffiths & Barnes, 2008). Because there are relatively few barriers to access, the Internet may well be providing a facilitating factor in the excessive gambling of vulnerable individuals, in particular young people and problem gamblers (Griffiths & Barnes, 2008).…”

Gambling and video game playing represent two leisure activities in which adolescents and young adults participate. There are psychological and behavioural parallels between slot machine gambling and video arcade game playing. Because both activities have similar negative effects associated with excessive play (e.g., poor academic performance, moodiness, loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, interpersonal conflict) there is concern that children and adolescents who are attracted to video games, for both psychological rewards and the challenge, may be at greater risk to gamble. The current research examined the gambling (land-based, online for money, and free online gambling games), video game, and Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) playing behaviour in adolescents and young adults to determine shared risk factors and negative consequences for excessive play. These factors include depression, personality characteristics (i.e., impulsivity and extraversion), and outcome expectancies.Results indicate that gamblers, relative to non-gamblers, were more likely to play video games. Video game players were more likely than non-players to gamble offline and report playing free online gambling games. Problem gamblers had higher rates of video game playing than non-gamblers and addicted gamers had higher rates of land-based gambling than nongamers. In addition, MMORPG players, relative to non-players, were more likely to have participated in online gambling activities, gambled offline, and played free online gambling games. There were no significant differences among the three gambling groups for depression, however addicted gamers had significantly higher depression scores than both social and non-

A study by Cotte and Latour (2009) has revealed several differences between online and the traditional (casino) gamblers. The two main differences were the perceptions of social connectedness and anonymity.…”

“…On the other hand, online players, apart from the comfort of joining the game from home, may also avoid social interaction by playing on the Internet. Plainly said, many online players would not go to a casino or poker playroom, whereas many traditional players would not play online (Cotte & Latour, 2009). The feelings and emotions in traditional gambling are also more vivid and more intense than in online games.…”

Background and aims:With the growing number of virtual sites and easy access to them, as well as increasing popularity of the game, online poker could foster addiction. The aim of the current inquiry was to gauge susceptibility to behavioural addiction in online and traditional poker players. Methods: Ninety-six online poker players and 35 traditional players were tested on the basis of the "Components model" for addiction (Griffiths, 2005). Using a Likert scale, ratings on six components were examined: salience, conflict, mood modification, withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, and relapse. Results: The traditional players scored higher than online players on measures of conflict, mood modification, and relapse. While none of the traditional players were at risk, the majority of them (94.7%) were symptomatic. Two online players were at risk, 67.7% symptomatic and 30.2% asymptomatic. No significant correlations have emerged between the amount and history of poker playing and the addiction scores. Conclusions: The current findings suggest that most traditional players are prone to behavioural addiction while the majority of the online players are also symptomatic.

“…At the same time, online gambling has become more socially accepted in contemporary societies and it has been integrated into many individual's everyday lives (Cotte and Latour, 2009;Kuss and Griffiths, 2012). However, technological advances and the growth of remote gambling (via the internet, mobile phones, and interactive television) can be negatively detrimental to some individuals (Wardle, Moody, Griffiths et al, 2011).…”

“…As the integration of gambling into everyday lives has shown individuals losing track of their spending (Auer and Griffiths, 2016;Siemens and Kopp, 2011), the concern about individual and social harm has grown (Canale, Veino & Griffiths, 2016;Yani-de-Soriano et al, 2012). In this sense, online gambling has been considered to be more harmful and less regulated than traditional gambling (Cotte and Latour, 2009;Kuss and Griffiths, 2012).…”

Psychology and Learning, 7(2), 15-30. AbstractGambling disorder is known to have a negatively detrimental impact on affected individual's physical and psychological health, social relationships, and finances. Via remote technologies (e.g., Internet, mobile phones, and interactive television), gambling has come out of gambling venues and has brought the potential for online gambling to occur anywhere (e.g., the home, the workplace, and on the move). Alongside the rise of online gambling, online gambling advertising have spread throughout all type of media. In a sample of 201 Spanish university students, the present study explored the perceived influence of online gambling advertising.More specifically it examined the Third-Person Effect (TPE), and its consequences on individuals' willingness to support censorship or public service advertising. The findings demonstrate that despite the difference on the perception of the effects of online gambling advertising, it scarcely accounts for the behavioural outcomes analysed. On the contrary, awareness of problem gambling and, above all, paternalistic attitudes appear to explain this support.
