Abstract

Background and aims: Smartphones extend the situational characteristics of sports betting beyond those available with land-based and computer platforms. This study examined 1) the role of situational features and betting platforms in harmful betting behaviours and short-term betting harm, and 2) whether people with more gambling problems have preferred situational features, engage more in harmful betting behaviours, and experience more severe short-term betting harm.

Methods: An ecological momentary assessment analysed 1,378 betting sessions on sports, esports or daily fantasy sports, reported by 267 respondents (18-29 years; 50.9% male) over 10 weeks.

Results: Factor analysis revealed five situational features of betting sessions: 1) quick, easy access from home, 2) ability to bet anywhere anytime, 3) privacy while betting, 4) greater access to promotions and betting options, and 5) ability to use electronic financial transactions. Regression models underpinned the analyses. Greater short-term betting harm was significantly associated with the ability to bet anywhere anytime, privacy when betting, and greater access to promotions and betting options. Betting sessions when these features were prioritised were more likely to involve impulsive betting, use of betting inducements, and betting with more operators. Respondents with more gambling problems were more likely to prioritise privacy and the ability to bet anywhere anytime; and to bet on in-game events, use promotional inducements, bet with more operators, and report greater betting harm.

Discussion and conclusions: Certain situational features of sports betting are empirically associated with engagement and subsequent harm. Only smartphone betting combines all three features associated with betting harm.

智能手机博彩的情境特征与体育博彩危害相关:一项生态瞬时评估研究。
背景和目的:智能手机将体育博彩的情境特征扩展到陆地和计算机平台之外。本研究考察了情境特征和投注平台在投注有害行为和短期投注伤害中的作用,以及投注问题越严重的人是否更倾向于情境特征,是否更倾向于从事有害投注行为,是否经历了更严重的短期投注伤害。方法:生态瞬间评估分析了体育、电子竞技或日常幻想体育的1,378次投注,由267名受访者(18-29岁;50.9%男性)超过10周。结果:因子分析揭示了博彩时段的五个情景特征:1)快速、方便地从家中进入;2)随时随地投注;3)投注时的隐私;4)更多地获得促销和投注选项;5)使用电子金融交易的能力。回归模型是分析的基础。更大的短期赌博伤害与随时随地下注的能力、赌博时的隐私、更多的促销和赌博选项显著相关。当这些功能被优先考虑时,投注会话更有可能涉及冲动投注,使用投注诱导,以及与更多运营商一起投注。有更多赌博问题的受访者更有可能优先考虑隐私和随时随地下注的能力;并在游戏内的活动中下注,使用促销诱因,与更多的运营商下注,并报告更大的赌博伤害。讨论和结论:体育博彩的某些情境特征与参与度和随后的伤害有关。只有智能手机赌博结合了所有与赌博危害相关的三个特征。
