A number of gambling historians have suggested that there have been three major waves in gambling. With the worldwide economic crisis upon us, state, provincial and federal governments have begun to alter their attitudes toward various forms of regulated gambling. Government officials previously opposed to gambling expansion are now proposing a massive expansion of casinos and video-poker machines, new online gambling initiatives, and some have contemplated lowering the legal age for gambling to attract new players. This new 4 th wave of gambling will result in more problems and need for increased research. The research in the past decade has significantly impacted and enhanced our understanding of risk factors associated with pathological gambling. New treatment initiatives have been developed and a greater number of prevention programs have been developed. What problems will result from this new wave of massive expansion?

Introduction Professional athletes in the United States make up the majority of the “100 top-earning athletes in the world.”1 Players like National Basketball Association (“NBA”) star LeBron James and National Football League (“NFL”) quarterback Matt Ryan have been handed unprecedented contracts in recent years.2 Even middling NBA players like Chandler Parsons and Joakim Noah have received enormous J.D.

Shain can be reached at [email protected]. 1 See Kurt Badenhausen, The World’s Highest-Paid Athletes, FORBES (June 11, 2019), archived at https://perma.cc/CTQ8-QHCL (noting that out of the world’s 100 top-earning athletes of 2019, sixty-two of them are Americans). 2 See id. (listing LeBron James’s $85.5 million and Matt Ryan’s $67.3 million salaries for 2018, both of which landed in the top ten salaries among athletes in the world for that year). For comparison, perhaps the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan, signed a contract with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls in 1988 that paid him $25 million over the course of eight years. See Jordan Signs 8-Year Contract with Bulls, LOS ANGELES TIMES (Sept. 21, 1988), archived at https://perma.cc/J9HF-Y4RL. To compare the $67.3 million Matt Ryan earned in the 2017-18 season to earnings of past NFL players, the entire Pittsburgh Steelers team earned, collectively, just $13.1 million.

After a brief overview of gambling technologies and deregulation issues, this review examines the impact of technology on gambling by highlighting salient factors in the rise of Internet gambling (i.e., accessibility, affordability, anonymity, convenience, escape immer- sion/dissociation, disinhibition, event frequency, asociability, interactivity, and simulation). The paper also examines other factors in relation to Internet gambling including the relation- ship between Internet addiction and Internet gambling addiction. The paper ends by overviewing some of the social issues surrounding Internet gambling (i.e., protection of the vulnerable, Internet gambling in the workplace, electronic cash, and unscrupulous opera- tors). Recommendations for Internet gambling operators are also provided.

  • Understanding the Psychology of Mobile Gambling: a Behavioural Synthesis Richard J
    1 British Journal of Psychology (2016) © 2016 The Authors. British Journal of Psychology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of the British Psychological Society www.wileyonlinelibrary.com Understanding the psychology of mobile gambling: A behavioural synthesis Richard J. E. James1*, Claire O’Malley1,2 and Richard J. Tunney1 1School of Psychology, University of Nottingham, UK 2School of Psychology, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus, Semenyih, Malaysia This manuscript reviews the extant literature on key issues related to mobile gambling and considers whether the potential risks of harm emerging from this platform are driven by pre-existing comorbidities or by psychological processes unique to mobile gambling. We propose an account based on associative learning that suggests this form of gambling is likely to show distinctive features compared with other gambling technologies. Smartphones are a rapidly growing platform on which individuals can gamble using specifically designed applications, adapted websites or text messaging. This review considers how mobile phone use interacts with psychological processes relevant to gambling, the games users are likely to play on smartphones, and the interactions afforded by smartphones. Our interpretation of the evidence is that the schedules of reinforce- ment found in gambling interact with the ways in which people tend to use smartphones that may expedite the acquisition of maladaptive learned behaviours such as problem gambling. This account is consistent with existing theories and frameworks of problem gambling and has relevance to other forms of mobile phone use. New technologies have affected the way people work and play, and have also enabled new ways in which people can gamble.
