This study aimed to estimate the past-year prevalence of gambling among high school students in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, to investigate sex-related differences in gambling behavior, and to identify factors associated with gambling. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2024 with 1064 students from the three existing high schools. Participants completed an anonymous online questionnaire covering sociodemographic data, gambling in the past 12 months and its characterization, substance use, and environmental influences. The primary dependent variable was past-year gambling, coded dichotomously as yes/no. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to assess associations between past-year gambling and the other variables. The weighted past-year prevalence of gambling was 35.0%, higher among males. Statistically significant sex differences emerged in gambling type, companions, expenditure, frequency, and mode of access. Compared with females, males were more likely to engage in sports betting and poker, gamble alone or with friends, spend more money, gamble more frequently, and gamble online only or both online and land-based. Multivariable analysis showed that being male, attending public schools, early tobacco initiation, frequent consumption of spirit drinks, and knowing others who gamble were independently associated with gambling in the past 12 months. Gambling is widespread among adolescents in this sample, with distinct sex-related patterns and strong social influences. Early prevention strategies should address both individual behaviors and broader social contexts. Longitudinal studies are needed to understand causal pathways and inform targeted interventions.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1021-1037"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148220403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored children's experiences and perceptions of cigarette card games, as well as parental attitudes and facilitation practices. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 child-parent dyads (19 boys, 2 girls) from September to December 2024. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were adopted to recruit children who had played cigarette card games in the past 1 month. Separate interview protocols were developed for children and parents to ensure age-appropriate communication. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke's framework, with dual coding and triangulation. Four key themes emerged: (1) Chance and reward-driven engagement, where children linked the thrill of obtaining rare cards to gambling; (2) Peer influence and social reinforcement, which strengthened friendships but risked excluding non-players; (3) Parental misperceptions, viewing the games as healthier alternatives to screen time that promote outdoor activity; and (4) Parental facilitation, including sourcing cards through networks and rationalizing support as aiding socialization. These patterns indicate that cigarette card games may expose children to gambling-like reward systems and normalize tobacco-related imagery, with parental participation further amplifying such exposure and acceptance. Cigarette card games blend gambling-like features with early tobacco normalization, amplified by parental pro-game practices. Public health interventions should target both children and parents, promoting awareness of gambling risks and guiding families toward safe, prosocial forms of play.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":"979-992"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13578003/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148057642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to explore the reasons for gambling among men in Matasia Location, Ngong Sub-County, Kajiado County, a semi-arid region with notable socio-economic challenges. A descriptive mixed-methods approach was used, surveying 150 men aged 18-65 identified at gambling hotspots (betting shops, bars, and eateries), with 145 completing questionnaires (96.7% response rate). Data were collected in July 2025 and analysed using SPSS 25 for descriptive statistics and chi-square tests, complemented by thematic analysis of interviews. Key motivations, frequency, types, and spending habits of gambling were assessed to identify driving factors. The primary reason for gambling was the desire for wealth, as participants indicated 48.3% were motivated by this factor, followed by financial pressures, with survey data revealing 25.5% cited this reason. Daily gambling was reported, with individuals reporting 54.5% engaged in it regularly, and 57.2% spent KES 1,000-5,000 monthly. Sports betting and casino games were the most common types, with interviewees noted 58.6% preferred sports betting and 51.7% chose casino games. The Key Informant Interview (Member of County Assembly) for Matasia Location, highlighted idleness and unemployment as key drivers. Economic desperation and digital accessibility fuel gambling in Matasia, and interventions such as vocational training, financial literacy programs, and policy restrictions on online platforms are recommended, aligning with Kenya's National Substance Abuse Prevention Strategy (2021) and Sustainable Development Goal 3.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1181-1190"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145716211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has examined gender differences in the prevalence of distinct gambling motives and has linked gambling motives to at-risk behaviour. Whether motives affect probabilities of transition to higher GD severity levels differently in males and females remains unclear. Using an online self-test, we assessed the prevalence distinct GD severity levels according to the DSM-5 criteria and gambling motives with items addressing domains of the \"Gambling Motives Questionnaire - Financial\" (GFQ-F). Associations between motives and GD severity at three transition points (no GD to mild, mild to moderate, moderate to severe GD) were analysed using age-adjusted logistic adjacent category regression models. Interaction terms (motive*gender) were examined to detect gender-specific \"effects\". Furthermore gender-stratified models were run. No significant gender*motive interactions emerged. In the total sample, a transition to a higher GD severity level was predicted by: \"(to) Forget worries\", \"When depressed,\" and \"(to) Earn money\" at each transition point; \"Thrill\" and \"Stress\" at the first two points, and \"Boredom\" at the first point. In males, the results were nearly identical. In females only \"Thrill\", \"Boredom\", and \"(to) Earn money\" were predictive at the first transition point. Given the prevalence of coping motives in females and the consistent detrimental \"effect\" of coping and financial motives in males, these motives should be prioritized in treatment and support offers for both genders. For prevention, strategies targeting enhancement motives may be particularly effective.","PeriodicalId":48155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gambling Studies","volume":" ","pages":"1207-1221"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13578037/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147272635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
