- I came on board with this study in October High school and some college had been collected, Bruce at Casino City agreed to come on board Data is preliminary, study is ongoing But it provides us with some interesting info High-school students: 47% male, 53% female College/University: 39% male, 61% female Internet 18-24: 90% male, 10% female (N=58) Internet 25+: 65% male, 35% female Overall Internet: 68% male, 32% female
- High school: total sample, 56% have played on practice sites 48% are male and 52% are female BUT 57% of males and 55% of females play, tho’ there is no significant difference, they are playing equally College/University sample: 43% have played on practice sites 44% are males, 56% are females BUT 49% of males and 40% of females, p<0.01 Internet sample 18-24: 72% have played 86% male, 14% female BUT 69% of males and 100% of females, can’t determine sig cuz of sample size Internet sample 25+: 78% have played on practice sites 64% are male, 36% female BUT 76% of males and 81% of females have played, tho’ not sig, they are playing equally Whole Internet sample: 78% have played 66% are male, 34% are female BUT 75% of males have played, 82% of females have played, no sig difference
- High-School: 13% of males, 6% of females AND 68% are male, 32% are female, p<.001 College/University: 11% of males, 3% of females AND 74% are male, 26% are female, p<.001 Internet sample: 53% of males, 20% of females AND 85% are male, 15% are female, p<.001
- This slide is to emphasise that the majority of high-school and university kids are not gambling on the internet, but for those that do 3% of high-school and 1% of college kids do at least weekly For the Internet sample, those who gamble for money, by far the most are doing so weekly Of males, 72% are gambling weekly, of females 54% are gambling weekly, p<.05 Of 18-24 year olds, 89% are gambling weekly, of 25+ 63% are gambling weekly, p<0.001 Of problem gamblers, 80% are gambling weekly (of social gamblers 65% are gambling weekly), p<.05
- Just over 10% of high-school students meet criteria for problem gambling (endorsing 2 or more items on DSM-IV-J) Just over 20% of Internet sample meet criteria for problem gambling (endorsing 3 or more items on DSM-IV) Slightly less than that found by Wood & Williams
- Should we be concerned? We are concerned about when they leave the practice sites They may not have credit cards now, but they will Reasons they like to play “gambling” games on the Internet: “sizing up the games” (fairness, odds etc.), don’t have to spend money and regret it later, practice/improve skills/learn game better (50%) Can we minimise harm? Age verification Reality checks: clocks with time clearly visible, clear display of currency unit of amount wagered, mechanisms to help individual monitor time and money spent, customer sets limits on amount can bet/play for specified period Self-exclusion for at least 6 months and those individuals taken off mailing lists Social responsibility/player protection information Advertising should not target under-age youth and should report fairly winning vs. losing Individual should have the option to set a session duration limit for time and money Customer service team should be trained in responsible gambling issues Demo/practice sites: free games must mirror real games in payout rates and method of play Offer same age restriction, social responsibility, and player protection info as real money site Players should have time session limits imposed
