1 What risks do simulated gambling activities pose to young people? Preliminary results from the SAMUS project Lead author: Daniel King 1 Co-authors: Paul Delfabbro 1, T. Zwaans 1, & D. Kaptsis 1 1 School of Psychology, The University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia
2 Outline of Presentation Background Young people and electronic media Convergence of gambling and digital media Implications for adolescent gambling Study outline Design Sample Measures Main findings Discussion Simulated gambling: The big picture Risks of simulated gambling? Emerging issues of digital media use
3 Youth and electronic media misuse Average youth spends 8 hrs/day on electronic media activities 75% of male adolescents play video games every week (Desai et al., 2010) Average time: 35 to 75 mins per day 9% of males aged 8-18 years report excessive gaming Excessive media use involves: Behavioural salience Loss of control over activities, e.g., video-gaming Negative psychosocial consequences (Gentile, 2011) Psychosocial impact of excessive gaming: Aggression (Anderson et al., 2010) Poorer academic achievement (Smyth, 2007) Reduced empathy and social avoidance (Bartholomew et al., 2005)
4 Convergence : A definition Convergence refers to a number of related processes and trends, but relates in general terms to the growing inter-dependence between the channels through which media and its content are provided. Two contributing factors: 1. Advancements in the enabling technology supporting digital forms of gambling, such as broadband accessibility (e.g., 4G network) 2. Provision of new platforms through which individuals can gamble, such as mobile technology, gaming devices, and digital television. King, D. L., Delfabbro, P. H., & Griffiths, M. D. (2010). The convergence of gambling and digital media: Implications for gambling in young people. Journal of Gambling Studies, 26,
5 How gambling and digital media converge 1. When a single media channel (e.g., the Internet or digital television) becomes capable of delivering media (e.g., radio, television) that was previously accessible only through separate channels and/or devices. 2. The co-location of activities or content that previously could not be provided together. For example, this might occur when media becomes capable of providing both the ability to view a sporting match, write a letter, or play a video-game all on the same device. 3. When one type of digital activity is embedded with another (e.g., a gambling activity can be played with a video gambling activity or vice versa). 4. When a single activity is designed so as to fulfil a common purpose (e.g., when a game show or video game also shares some of the interactive elements of gambling).
6 Established and emerging digital forms of gambling Monetary forms Online gambling sites, virtual casinos Smartphone apps Telephone betting Interactive television (i-tv) Non-monetary forms Free play or demo modes MMOs Gambling-like content in video games Social networking sites
7 Simulated gambling: A typology (King et al. 2012) Standard gambling simulation: a digitally simulated interactive gambling activity that is structurally identical to the standard format of an established gambling activity, such as blackjack or roulette; Non-standard gambling simulation: an interactive gambling activity that involves the wagering of in-game credits or other items on an uncertain outcome, in an activity that may be partially modelled on a standard gambling activity but which contains distinct player rules or other structural components that differ from established gambling games; Gambling references: the appearance of non-interactive gambling material or gambling-related paraphernalia/materials within the context of the video game.
8 Standard gambling simulation Non-standard gambling simulation Gambling themes
9 Gambling in MMORPGs Few different types: 1. Actual casinos, using in-game currency 2. Player-to-player wagering on random events 3. Chance-based activities with prizes 4. Random loot and auction sales Recent example: Squeal of Fortune in Runescape An optional activity available to all players Players spin the wheel to win prizes Extra spins may be purchased with $$$ Prizes include rare in-game items Can convert prize to currency Other players are notified of jackpots

11 Gambling machines Video games Onscreen display of score Sound and graphics Audiovisual rewards Competitive elements Skill-based elements Require response to predictable visual stimuli Rapid span of play Random elements Scripted near miss event Entrapment No endpoint = rare or atypical = common
12 Video-games featuring gambling: Some examples
13 Classification of simulated gambling in VGs Since 2000, over 100 video games featuring gambling simulations have been classified as family entertainment: Two-thirds rated PG for Parental Guidance (i.e., 8+ years) One-third rated G for General (i.e. all ages) Mature games do not display consumer advice on gambling The interactive nature of gambling not recognised under OFLC Australian Code of Classification Red Dead Redemption Pokémon Grand Theft Auto
14 Simulated gambling: Implications for youth I Greater accessibility and familiarity More visible, attractive, and ubiquitous Normalisation of the activity Early development of gambling strategies Knowledge of gambling activities Brand recognition Earlier involvement Fewer restrictions on first gambling experience (<18yrs) Unsupervised: solitary, or with peers Development of positive attitudes toward gambling Exposure to factually incorrect or misleading information
15 Simulated gambling: Implications for youth II Greater chance of experiencing a big win Websites engineer early big wins (Smeaton & Griffiths, 2004) Lack of financial element may create disconnection between action and consequence, safety net for risky behaviours Inducements to gamble with real money (e.g., free credit) Enables unhelpful coping styles Gambling as an escape Characteristics of the online environment (Suler, 2004) Asocial and anonymous Mood modification: Euphoria Disinhibition Immersion
16 Simulated gambling: Implications for youth III Peer influences Internet facilitates social competition and approval Mere presence effects, alone together Interaction with older, experienced gamblers Gambling as family entertainment Cocooning effects Increase parental transmission of attitudes Lack of consumer advice, warnings Protective factor: Earlier detection/controlled gambling?

18 South Australian Media Use Study (SAMUS) Study objectives: I. To investigate youth exposure and participation rates across a range of simulated gambling activities II. III. To examine the co-occurrence of simulated gambling with monetary gambling and its potential risks for problem gambling To examine the co-occurrence of problem gambling with problem Internet use and video-gaming
19 Methodology Population survey: Youth aged years Recruited from 50 randomly selected secondary schools in SA inner/outer metropolitan area 8 schools participated 95%+ response rate Two survey formats: Online (Surveymonkey) Paper-and-pencil Data collected June-August 2012

26 Objective I To investigate youth exposure and participation rates across a range of simulated gambling activities Online gambling activity of any kind was low, in and of itself and relative to other online activities Social networking is the dominant online activity across gender
27 Simulated gambling: participation rates Total N % Males (N) Females (N) Have you ever tried Gambling with money on the Internet? Gambling using free or trial modes online? Gambling apps on Facebook? Gambling apps on a mobile phone? Video games that feature gambling? Number of VGs played featuring gambling None % of youth have tried gambling on the Internet with money Males generally 2x or more likely to engage in simulated gambling Nearly 30% of males play video games featuring simulated gambling

For example, Bar 1 indicates that 20% of simulated gamblers engage in monetary card games, whereas 6% of those who do not SM engage in the card games. Simulated gambler status defined as gambling via free trial modes, Facebook apps, video games, or mobile apps
29 Simulated gambling: Problem gambling symptoms All pathological gamblers were simulated gamblers Chi-Square analysis There were significant differences between the category of simulated gambling status and problem gambling symptoms Preliminary multivariate analysis indicates that involvement in simulated gambling is a significant predictor of monetary gambling and problem gambling severity, after controlling for age and gender Using gambling apps on Facebook has strongest association with gambling using money
30 Problem behaviours: Gambling, Internet and video-gaming Internet Gambling Video-gaming Use (%) (%) (%) Preoccupation Loss of control Withdrawal Escape Theft Missing school Lying/Secrecy Arguments Chasing Tolerance TOTAL Not at risk At Risk Problem PATHOL. GAMBLERS
31 Strengths and limitations Strengths Large sample (approx. 1,500) Representative cross-section of age, gender, locality Separation of PTU types (i.e., Internet vs. Video-gaming) Distinction of monetary vs. non-monetary vs. gambling-like Weaknesses Cross-sectional design (i.e., a snapshot only) validity of self-report among adolescents e.g., overestimating media usage Actual media use may be highly unstable, may vary according to seasonal, historical, environmental and interpersonal factors Lack of information on family context Familial and attitudinal gambling factors not assessed
32 Conclusions Youth gambling behaviours are diverse Simulated gambling activity is high Video-game gambling among males (about 30%) Prevalence rate of PG lower than in prev. studies Monetary gambling does not typically occur in isolation of simulated gambling activities Simulated gambling activities appear to co-occur with problem gambling, and predict PG severity Problem Internet and VG behaviours are prevalent Reflected by recognition in Section III in DSM-V, however the diagnosis may be problematic SAMUS is currently in progress (expect >1500 cases) Final data and multivariate analyses incoming
33 Implications Need for further research on simulated gambling in the context of early exposure to gambling Critical consideration of simulated gambling content across a range of media activities is warranted Should simulated gambling activities be regulated? Pathological Internet and VG behaviours may be elephant in the room given much higher prevalence DSM-V Internet Use Disorder may be inadequate
