The second national study of interactive gambling in Australia (2019-20)
This second national study on internet gambling was funded by Gambling Research Australia. Its aims were to update findings from the first study (2014) and evaluate how the interactive gambling environment has changed since then. Methods included an environmental scan, national telephone survey, national online survey of people who gambled, longitudinal cohort study and interviews with people who gamble online. This talk will present key findings, including the estimated prevalence of online and offline gambling, characteristics of people who participate in online gambling, use of licensed and unlicensed gambling operators, gambling harm amongst people who gamble offline and online and to affected others, and key changes in the online gambling environment over the past decade.
