Abstract

ABSTRACT The lottery is the most widely available form of legal gambling in the US. However, there is relatively little work in promoting responsible gambling strategies by lottery providers. The current study applies five evidence-based responsible gambling strategies, to the responsible gambling information made available on 46 state lottery websites. The study employed a content analysis of the public-facing websites. The study found that a minority of the state lottery sites provided readily available information to the public for each of five strategies. Responsible gambling information was limited in most cases with several notable and informative exceptions. Findings are discussed in the context of public health education and harm reduction approaches in the provision of gambling products. The responsible gambling framework is premised on the notion of well-informed participants. Poor integration of responsible gambling strategies for the most widely available form of gambling points to the shortcomings of this framework in practice. Lottery operators should strive to increase their adoption of a greater range of responsible gambling approaches and increase the visibility of relevant information for potential participants.
在美国面向公众的州彩票网站上提供负责任的赌博策略信息
彩票是美国最广泛使用的合法赌博形式。然而,在促进彩票提供者负责任的赌博策略方面,工作相对较少。目前的研究将五种基于证据的负责任赌博策略应用于46个州彩票网站上提供的负责任赌博信息。这项研究对面向公众的网站进行了内容分析。研究发现,少数州彩票网站为公众提供了五种策略中的每种策略的现成信息。在大多数情况下,负责任的赌博信息是有限的,有几个值得注意的例外情况。研究结果在提供赌博产品的公共卫生教育和减少危害方法的背景下进行了讨论。负责任的赌博框架是以知情参与者的概念为前提的。对最广泛可用的赌博形式缺乏负责任的赌博策略的整合指出了这一框架在实践中的缺点。彩票经营者应努力增加他们采用更广泛的负责任的赌博方法,并增加潜在参与者的相关信息的可见性。
