Online Casinos Pose Risk

As the British Psychological Society’s Social Psychology Conference winds down the online casino gambling industry has been left in the defensive position of citing research that counters some of the claims in the from research presented at the Conference. Essentially, new research out of the UK has indicated that gambling at the online casinos could have more than double the rates of problem gambling. This is a serious departure from the breadth of evidence coming out of other global research companies. Research in the past year has coalesced on the opinion that internet gambling and land gambling have the same levels of problem gambling.

In the United States, some research has even gone so far as to conclude that online casinos have lesser rates of problem gambling than their land gambling counterparts. Now, nearly every issue and industry has conflicting evidence at some stage of the process, and in this case, there are still numerous studies that counter the findings that were presented at the Conference. The recent Conference presented information about a variety of subjects and this was not an event focus on the online casino gambling industry.

The Conference, however, provided the research presenters with the opportunity to debate and discuss their theories about problem gambling within the online casino gambling industry and gave a large platform for a lot of important discussion to take place. On the flip side, the internet gambling companies are certainly not pleased with this research and there is a big hope that additional research will negate the influence of the Nottingham Trent University gambling research study.
