Regulators and the gaming industry have increasingly recognized the importance of responsible gambling activities. Suggestions are given for researchers working in the responsible gambling field. A list of minimal requirements for a responsible gambling program is offered. There are multiple interventions available for operators to build a comprehensive responsible gambling program, but the missing ingredient is scientific research designed to develop new programs and to evaluate existing programs for safety and efficacy. More research on responsible gambling will benefit all stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":384629,"journal":{"name":"Responsible Gambling","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133605067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They argue that, in addition to other considerations, a social justice perspective can inform responsible and problem gambling efforts across the United States and international jurisdictions. They believe that the public health continuum of services, which includes prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery supports, provides ample opportunities to make significant progress in this area. Historically, the field of problem gambling has focused on the individual experience of gambling, with a particular emphasis and advocacy on treatment. Oppressed and marginalized populations and entire communities are often absent from this traditional lens.","PeriodicalId":384629,"journal":{"name":"Responsible Gambling","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130268853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Gambling Lawyers’ Perspective on Responsible Gambling","authors":"S. Planzer, Martin Lyčka","doi":"10.1093/med-psych/9780190074562.003.0013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/med-psych/9780190074562.003.0013","url":null,"abstract":"From the backgrounds of an external counsel and an in-house lawyer, this chapter offers a legal perspective on responsible gambling (RG). The primary tool of lawyers is law and not empirical sciences. Accordingly, these legal scholars explain how their normative perspective differs from other scholarly perspectives and how it affects the concept, theory, and objectives of RG. These stakeholders describe aspects that hamper the effectiveness of RG policies, such as hidden agendas and RG rules that are not empirically based. They then revisit the Reno Model, comparing its strengths and weaknesses; they observe alternative models of regulatory practice. The analytical exercise feeds into discussions of the legal and practical implications of the RG rules, in particular as regards the scope of duty of care and the compliance burden of regulated gambling operators. The authors make suggestions on how to improve RG programs and the Reno Model itself, using insights from behavioral studies and promoting bottom up-initiatives.","PeriodicalId":384629,"journal":{"name":"Responsible Gambling","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131175240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
