“…Severe loss-chasers and serious high-risk gamblers (6.8%) are likely to need more intensive therapeutic interventions. This reflects the wider literature on antisocial personality, gambling and delinquency (Turner et al, 2016) according to which rates in the prison population vary from 5.2%, ranging from 3 to 19 times the level in the general population (Hickey et al, 2014). Turner et al (2009) report a 9.4% overall prevalence of gambling harm in a prison sample (N=254), compared to 1.14% of the Canadian general population, which is equal to a relative risk of 8.25.…”

The aim of this study is to provide an estimate of the social costs of gambling in Italy. In line with other research on social costs, the present study estimates the consequences of gambling harm on public finances, focusing on the estimated costs to treat high-risk gamblers, costs associated with productivity losses, costs of unemployment, personal and family costs, crime and legal costs. We used two different approaches to calculate these costs. The first approach, used for health care costs, consists of using the lump sum spent to prevent the harm caused to high-risk gamblers. The second approach involves estimating the number of high-risk gamblers causing the cost, which is then multiplied with the average unit cost per person. Our estimates of the annual social costs of gambling in Italy – more than EUR 2.3 billion – demonstrate a substantial economic burden to society. However, the costs are a substantial underestimate, as they are limited to those of a public nature and do not take into consideration those costs borne by moderate and low-risk gamblers, as well as affected others.
