A geographic information systems (GIS) spatial analysis was conducted to identify vulnerable areas based on neighborhood characteristics, lottery sales, and ARPG. GIS methods involved geocoding lottery agent addresses and integrating them into a geodatabase, enabling precise spatial analysis and visualization. This approach allowed us to examine spatial patterns in lottery sales, agent density, and neighborhood characteristics of 524 postal codes. Residents of disadvantaged areas did not spend more on lottery tickets or have more lottery agents than those in less disadvantaged areas. Some indicators of disadvantage (percent unemployed, percent single mothers) were associated with lower lottery sales and agent density, reflecting less disposable income. Postal codes in commercial and tourist areas and on the Massachusetts border had higher per capita sales. Individual characteristics hypothesized to predict ARPG remained significant in nested analyses. The strongest predictor of individual-level ARPG was having close friends or family who gamble regularly, demonstrating that social relationships have a strong impact on gambling behavior. In the nested analysis, residents of disadvantaged areas did not have increased risk for ARPG overall, although ARPG likely has a greater adverse impact on disadvantaged areas due to lower levels of resources.

Higher EEMDIC scores, especially on primary-control dimensions (Skill, Strategy), were associated with greater gambling severity and engagement in strategic betting (sports, horse racing). Education correlated negatively with IoC, and occupational differences emerged. Age was modestly but significantly associated with lower IoC: it explained ≈ 2.8% of total variance and 0.9-4.1% across factors.

Based on the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, our findings suggested that gambling activity groups were associated with reduced mental wellbeing through problem gambling symptoms.

In contrast, women's mental wellbeing did not differ across gambling activity groups. This study clarifies the roles of problem gambling symptoms and gambling activity groups in reduced mental wellbeing. Gambling activity groups featuring multiple activities, high spending, and electronic gaming machines (EGMs) were related to problem gambling symptoms.
