Internet-Based Structural Characteristics of Sports Betting and Problem Gambling Severity: Is There a Relationship?
03 de Maio de 2018
Abstract With the adoption and popularization of internet-based platforms, sports betting has
introduced new functionalities that transform the design of its products and therefore the way
bettors interact with them. This study aims to explore the association between the use of new
structural characteristics of online betting and gambling severity. Five characteristics are
examined here: (i) live in-play betting; (ii) cash out feature use (as example of in-play betting
in-built features); (iii) fantasy sports gaming; (iv) location of betting; and (v) device or platform
used to make bets. A cohort (N = 659) of Spanish gamblers who had bet on sports during the
previous year was recruited through an online survey. The results suggested that those bettors
scoring higher on gambling problems also utilized more often such new structural characteristics,
in a proportion not explained only by their higher overall gambling activity. Mobile
betting was especially frequent among problem gamblers.
