“…Attempts to obtain cash through credit cards in venues may also signal gambling problems among patrons. 51 › There is some evidence that those with problem gambling may actually avoid using credit cards because the card activity statements provide a permanent record of spending, 52 which means confronting the losses they have incurred. 16 The signs of problem gambling may be visible in activity statements, which can help loved ones, employers, creditors, or others, detect problems and intervene.…”

The Commission opened a call for evidence on gambling with credit cards in February 2019 to consider the issue further. In August 2019, a public consultation followed to explore the options of either 1) banning the use of credit cards for gambling entirely (including online betting, casinos, bingo, lottery, and bookmakers), or 2) introducing limits and restrictions on the use of credit cards. This report provides the best available evidence on the effectiveness and considerations of implementing a ban or restriction on credit card use to gamble. It will be used to inform an evaluation plan that will measure the impact of the regulatory intervention. This report consists of two independent activities. Section 1 is a review of data on credit card use supplied by the Remote Gambling Association (RGA) and the Gambling Commission. Specifically, this data was investigated to provide insights and context around the current use of credit cards for gambling in the United Kingdom.

Traditional, season-long fantasy sport participation has grown considerably since the late 1990s, and in an attempt to capitalize on this growing demand, daily fantasy sports (DFS) providers have created a new game where money changes hands instantly. This change has led some legal commentators and state agencies to believe the game is a form of Internet gambling similar to online poker, blackjack, and sports wagering, and thus, it requires increased regulation or even prohibition. Little is known, however, about the gambling behavior associated with DFS participation. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to examine problem gambling severity in conjunction with DFS participant motives, perceptions, and consumption behavior. Over 500 DFS participants were surveyed, and the results suggest DFS participants behave similarly with participants in other forms of gambling activities. In addition, the findings suggest additional consumer protections may be needed to prevent further problem behavior such as chasing.
