{"title":"Gambling-like digital assets and gambling severity: a correlational study with U.S. sports bettors consuming cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and fan tokens","authors":"Hibai Lopez-Gonzalez, Brian Petrotta","doi":"10.1080/14459795.2023.2279125","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14459795.2023.2279125","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis paper explores the relationship with gambling severity of a relatively new set of speculative digital products, namely cryptocurrency trading, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and fan tokens. These products have gained notoriety in sports marketing strategies (among other realms) and are considered to be potentially problematic because, disguised as non-gambling products, they include gambling-like design features that might make sports fans more vulnerable when consuming them. A sample of regular sports bettors (N = 525) based in the U.S. was recruited in 2023 via an online panel to understand the association between these types of consumptions. The findings revealed a significant overlap between experiencing gambling problems and consuming cryptocurrency trading products, NFTs, and fan tokens. The results indicate a modest relationship between the severity of gambling and the likelihood of owning the studied digital assets, of holding positive attitudes toward them, and of being more frequently exposed to their advertising and marketing promotions. The relevancy of these findings resides in the fact that sports bettors might be perceiving and treating gambling and gambling-like assets as part of the same product category, when in reality the latter are legally required to comply with fewer consumer protection measures than gambling products.KEYWORDS: Sports bettinggamblingcryptoNFTfan tokensport AcknowledgementsWe thank CERCA Programme/Generalitat de Catalunya for institutional support.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Authors’ contributionsHL-G conceived and planned the study, conducted the analysis of the case study and wrote the first draft.

{"title":"The lived experience of frontline casino workers","authors":"Wongkun Manian, Libo Yan, Zhonglu Zeng","doi":"10.1080/14459795.2023.2273520","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14459795.2023.2273520","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTCareer-related emotional contagion has been investigated in many sectors, including healthcare and journalism. However, the gambling sector remains unexplored, despite frontline casino employees’ frequent exposure to the fluctuating emotions of gamblers, especially those who experience gambling problems. This study fills the research gap by investigating the impact of long-term exposure to gambling on frontline casino employees. The data were collected from 46 interviewees. Analysis revealed three themes: dealers’ emotional responses, ‘dirty work’, and the impact on dealers’ private lives. In the first theme, the interviewees’ responses indicated that exposure to gambling led to various emotional outcomes, including indifference, sympathy, perplexity, and worry. The second theme, ‘dirty work’, covers observations concerning organizational malpractice and negative social impacts. The various ‘impacts on dealer’s private lives’ identified in the data ranged from negative to positive. This study reveals the complexity of workplace emotional contagion and the emotional costs for frontline casino employees. The implication for gambling companies is that emotional support with – and training in – emotion management are necessary to maintain and retain a healthy workforce.KEYWORDS: Emotional contagionnegative emotionsgamblingemployee–customer encounterdirty work Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementDue to the nature of this research, the participants did not agree for their data to be shared publicly.
