Since the UK Gambling Act of 2005 was introduced, gambling has stopped being seen, politically and legally as an inherent vice and is now viewed as a legitimate form of entertainment. Gambling Regulation and Vulnerability explores the laws around gambling that aim to protect society and individuals, examining the differences between regulatory rhetoric and the impact of legislative and regulatory measures. Malgorzata Carran finds that although the Gambling Act introduced many positive changes to gambling regulation, it has created an environment in which protection of vulnerable individuals becomes difficult. Carran challenges the existing legislative premise that regulation alone is able to balance the effect of liberalisation for those who are vulnerable.

Commercial gambling is a recent historical phenomenon. It has developed into a profitable industry that supplies a range of recreational activities to its customers, and is a significant way of collecting money from players to distribute to companies, state budgets, and other beneficiaries. Many of these are civil society organizations, using the money for producing services in sports, culture, social work, and health care. However, gambling can also develop into pathological behaviour. Using a public interest framework, this book discusses the policies that will best serve the public good and minimize individual and collective harms. After describing the historical context of the gambling and the current global burden of the activity, available methods of regulating the industry are evaluated using the available scientific evidence. By analysing the effectiveness of gambling policies and their alignment with the public interest, the epidemiological obstacles to successful regulation are considered in detail. There is good evidence for the effectiveness of restrictions on availability and access, but preventing gambling-related harm is not possible without limiting the overall volume of the activity, and hence the profits for the gambling industry and governments. Taking an international approach, this book delivers a comprehensive review of the epidemiological evidence documenting the harmful effects of gambling on individuals, communities, and societies. Essential reading for policymakers, social and behavioural scientists in gambling research, and public health researchers, Setting Limits examines a global view of an emerging epidemic of gambling problems.

This edited volume aims to facilitate the evolution of the new public health approach towards gambling. Bringing together the work of international experts, it gives a current overview of the field, highlighting the need for a coordinated framework of prevention and harm reduction measures to replace current "player protection" measures. Chapters begin by exploring the impact of problem gambling, looking at its effects on several levels, ranging from the individual to the family and society. Subsequently an overview of prevention and harm reduction models is presented, bringing the reader to an in-depth understanding of what a public health approach to gambling would entail. Later chapters focus on potential challenges to monitoring and evaluation, inviting the reader to envisage possible barriers towards implementation and ways of overcoming these. The book concludes with recommendations on how to take a harm reduction approach, from a political and human rights perspective. This work gives a rare synopsis of the present-day issues when considering the implementation of a harm reduction strategy for gambling. Recent work by key professionals is presented in order to encourage further developments in this ever-changing domain. Such issues will be relevant to all those with an interest in the field of problem gambling, from clinicians, students and healthcare professionals, to politicians.

If a social service agency is going to be effective, it has to be evaluated regularly to determine whether it is meeting its goals and actually delivering the services it intends to. To do so well, however, requires skilled evaluators and an understanding within agencies of what their role entails. This brief introductory guidebook aims to demystify the work of evaluation, from basic concepts and approaches to choices of methods and implementation. Combining theoretical and practical aspects, it will be of use at all stages of considering, commissioning, conducting, and critiquing evaluations.

There are now signs that, after decades of phenomenal growth, the era of unrestrained gambling liberalisation may be coming to an end. However, the power of the Gambling Establishment is formidable, and it will certainly fight back. Drawing on research and policy examples from around the world, the book provides a unified understanding of the dangerousness of modern commercialised gambling, how its expansion has been deliberately or inadvertently supported, and how the backlash is now occurring. The term Gambling Establishment is defined to include the industry which sells gambling, governments which support it, and a wider network of organisations and individuals who have subscribed to the ‘responsible gambling’ Establishment discourse. Topics covered include the psychology of how gambling is now being advertised and promoted and the way it is designed to deceive gamblers about their chances of winning; the increased exposure of young people to gambling and the alignment of gambling with sport; understanding the experience of gambling addiction; the various public health harms of gambling at individual, family, community and societal levels; and how evidence has been used to resist change. The book’s final chapter offers the author’s manifesto for policy change, designed with Britain particularly in mind but likely to have relevance elsewhere. With detailed examples given of the ways a number of countries are responding to these threats to their citizens’ health, this book will be of global interest for academics, researchers, policymakers and service providers in the field of gambling or other addictions specifically, and public health and social policy generally.

Background: Electronic gaming machine (EGM) is established as a particularly risky form of gambling. The harms of frequent EGM play and problem gambling are many, and negatively affect the individual, families and the broader community. New Zealand is one of the few countries that has incorporated public health approach to gambling harm; however, research suggests that the prevalence rate of problem gambling has plateaued and the gambling harm-minimisation strategies seem to focus on the extreme end of problem gambling with very little focus on health promotion policies. Therefore, there are many prospects of developing a broader and more integrated public health approach, especially for EGM gambling. Aim and objectives: The primary aim of this thesis was to understand EGM gambling behaviour in a holistic manner to make recommendations of potential strategies to minimise EGM gambling-related harms and promote health. This thesis was guided by four main objectives, which are; 1. To explore the association between problem gambling and psychological disorders in EGM gamblers. 2. To develop a comprehensive theoretical framework for EGM gambling behaviour. 3. To understand the challenges related to EGM gambling harm-minimisation and interventions. 4. To provide recommendations for regulatory policy, clinical directives and community actions to minimise EGM gambling harm and improve gambling interventions within the public health approach. Methodology: The thesis undertook three sequential studies for data collection and analysis using mixed methodologies. Study one utilised quantitative online survey methodology on a sample of selfreported EGM gamblers to understand association on co-occurring psychological disorders and problem gambling and its relationship to decision-making. Study two utilised qualitative indepth semi-structured interview method to collect data on experiences and circumstances around EGM play, gambling motives, help-seeking behaviours, reasons to relapse and experience of gambling harm from active EGM gamblers. Similarly, Study three utilised qualitative in-depth interviews method to understand the complexity of EGM gambling behaviour from the perspectives of health professionals, academics and policy-makers in developing EGM gambling harm-minimisation, policies and intervention strategies. Each study informed factors that could impact the onset and course of EGM problem gambling and experience of gambling-related harm to generate a conceptual framework and recommend potential EGM gambling harm-minimisation policies. Discussion: The quantitative data demonstrated higher scores on screening measures including anxiety, depression, stress and alcohol use and poor performance on IGT in problem gamblers. The qualitative analysis further added co-occurring disorders in EGM gamblers contributed to an individual's vulnerability to a range of issues, such as the compound impact on daily activity (e.g., eating and sleeping patterns), challenges in coping with gambling harm (e.g., breakdown of relationship) and added complications to seeking help. A biopsychosocial framework to EGM gambling behaviour was developed showing interconnected risk factors (environmental, individual and the structural characteristics of EGMs), the process of PG recovery and EGM gambling-related harm. The framework further facilitated understanding of challenges related to the EGM gambling harm-minimisation such as; high concentration of EGMs particularly in socially deprived areas, sophisticated structural characteristics of EGMs, social regulatory policies such as community funding model of EGM gambling proceeds and new challenges related to increasing online EGM gambling engagement. Consequently, multiple-level approaches were recommended, including broader cross-sector collaboration to improve knowledge on gambling-related harm, empower vulnerable populations and change lifestyles to include community involvement. Conclusion: This thesis contributes to the public health debate around EGM gambling by building on the existing gambling literature. It uses a range of mixed model techniques which have not before been used in this context. Together, the chapters of this thesis form a conceptual model which outlines the interaction between the different variables that enhances gambling behaviour and experience of harm and is followed by a range of policy and clinical implications aimed at reducing gambling harm and suggestions for several future research areas.
