“…Sports gambling began to spread across the world in the 1950s and remained steady until the beginning of the 21st century. However, in the last 15 years, the sports gambling industry has undergone significant changes and has become comparable to the traditional sports industry in terms of revenue generation (Turcu, Burcea, Diaconescu, Barbu, Popescu, & Apostu, 2020). The sports gambling industry has become one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States since the passage of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (Delaney, 2007).…”

“…The financial impacts of the gambling industry in the sports industry are significantly important to the sports industry. The gambling industry has become a significant financial supporter for many sport leagues and clubs as sports gambling provides a new source of income to the sports industry through sports sponsorship agreements (Turcu et al, 2020). For instance, Fulham became the first England Premier League (EPL) club to have a gambling company sponsor in the 2002-2003 season.…”

Sports gambling has become closely intertwined with sports. However, the effect of sports gambling on young adults have not been extensively investigated, even if it is expected that participating in sports gambling could influence young adults' attitudes and behaviors. Therefore, the purposes of the current study were a) to investigate the effects of sports gambling on young adults’ attitudes and behaviors and b) to evaluate the quality of life of young adults in Hong Kong. A total of 160 young adults (80 sports gamblers and 80 non-gamblers) in Hong Kong participated in the survey. The results of t-tests revealed the differences between sports gamblers and non-gamblers. Specifically, non-gamblers showed higher levels of sports fan identification, quality of life, BIRGing behaviors, prosocial behaviors, performance tolerance, and purchasing intention than sports gamblers, whereas sports gamblers had higher level of positive affect on sports spectating. Furthermore, the results of the multiple regressions indicated that sports fan identification and positive affect influenced non-gamblers’ purchasing intention, while only sports fan identification had an impact on sports gamblers’ purchasing intention. These results provided an empirical conformation of the effect of sports gambling on sports fan attitudes and behaviors, which contribute to our understanding of the destructive impact of sports gambling on sports fan experience.

The aim of this study is to analyze the contribution of the Spor Toto Organization Presidency to Turkish sports and sporting activities. Within the scope of the research, the level of institutional support provided by the Spor Toto Organization Presidency to sports activities is examined. The study employs SWOT analysis, one of the qualitative research methods. This analytical approach is used to systematically evaluate internal and external factors related to organizations, projects, or sectoral products. The study is limited to data from the years 2004–2017. According to the results derived from the data, the contributions of the Spor Toto Organization Presidency to Turkish sports demonstrate a significant impact across a wide spectrum, including sports financing, infrastructure development, support for amateur sports, and the organization of international events. The institution's robust financial structure is evidenced by its provision of 18.141 billion Turkish Lira to the treasury and the construction of 2,547 sports facilities during the 2004–2017 period, substantiating its effectiveness in promoting sports development. However, the lack of detailed information about its activities after 2017 highlights a transparency deficit regarding resource allocation and efficient usage, which stands out as one of the institution's weaknesses. This lack of transparency poses a risk of undermining the organization's public reputation and credibility. Additionally, economic fluctuations are perceived as a threat that could challenge the institution's financial models. Changes in government policies and legal regulations regarding betting may negatively affect the organization’s revenue streams. The politicization of sports emerges as another external threat, potentially jeopardizing the independence and reputation of the organization. The Spor Toto Organization Presidency plays an indispensable role in financing and developing Turkish sports. Nevertheless, a strategic roadmap is required to optimize its strengths and opportunities, address its weaknesses, and take proactive measures against threats.
