Is simulated gambling a gateway for traditional gambling?
About
Associate Professor Alex Russell is a Principal Research Fellow in the Experimental Gambling Research Laboratory at CQUniversity. His primary focus is on how technology is changing gambling, who is most at risk from these changes, and what can be done to reduce harm. The presentation will focus on his Foundation-funded study that explores two questions in relation to gaming and gambling amongst young adults: whether games simulated gambling products (e.g., loot boxes, social casino games) are a potential gateway for traditional gambling and gambling harm, and how gaming and gambling by others around young people can influence their behaviour. Based on a survey with over 1000 people aged 18-25, Alex explores the role relationships with their parents, parental attitudes and social norms influence behaviour and discuss how the findings can inform potential interventions.Location
