Abstract

Background and Aims

Gambling is a public health issue and widespread advertising of gambling products may contribute to gambling harms. Sports-related gambling advertising includes advertising around sports games or for sports betting products. This review aimed to provide the most systematic and up-to-date review of the literature on the association between sports-related gambling advertising and gambling behaviour.

Methods

A systematic literature search of quantitative studies up to 13 February 2024 was undertaken following PRISMA guidelines. Inclusion criteria were quantitative studies published in the English language exploring the association between sports-related gambling advertising and gambling behaviour. Traditional database searches (Medline, Scopus, PsychInfo, Web of Science, CINAHL and The Cochrane Library) were undertaken alongside citation, author and website searches. Studies were narratively synthesised, and the overall quality of the evidence was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).

Results

Twenty-two studies were included in this review covering traditional, digital, direct, embedded, inducement and aggregate advertising. The majority (n = 16) of research was undertaken in Australia on adult populations. Results suggest that sports-related gambling advertising is associated with increases in perceived, intended and actual frequency of (n = 6 studies) and expenditure on (n = 3) gambling, unplanned or unintended gambling (n = 2), the likelihood of gambling (n = 2), the likelihood of using a sponsor's product (n = 2) and, in some cases, the complexity or riskiness of bets placed (n = 2). Studies suggest that the self-reported effect may be more pronounced in higher-risk gamblers (n = 7). Preliminary evidence suggests that specific inducements which reduce the riskiness or cost of gambling appear to be particularly influential (n = 3). Limitations of the evidence base include the lack of standardised measures and use of observational designs.

Conclusions

Exposure to sports-related gambling advertising appears to be associated with increased gambling behaviour for a wide range of advertising media. This association may be more pronounced in higher-risk gamblers who are already at increased risk of harm.

与体育有关的赌博广告对赌博行为有何影响？系统回顾。

背景和目的：赌博是一个公共健康问题，赌博产品的广泛广告可能会导致赌博危害。与体育有关的赌博广告包括围绕体育比赛或体育博彩产品的广告。本次审查的目的是提供最系统的和最新的关于体育相关的赌博广告和赌博行为之间的关系的文献审查。方法：根据PRISMA指南，对截至2024年2月13日的定量研究进行系统文献检索。纳入标准是用英语发表的定量研究，探讨与体育相关的赌博广告和赌博行为之间的关系。传统的数据库检索（Medline、Scopus、PsychInfo、Web of Science、CINAHL和The Cochrane Library）与引文、作者和网站检索一起进行。对研究进行叙述性综合，并使用混合方法评估工具（MMAT）评估证据的总体质量。结果：本综述包括22项研究，涵盖传统、数字、直接、嵌入式、诱导和聚合广告。大多数（n = 16）研究是在澳大利亚对成年人群进行的。结果表明，与体育相关的赌博广告与（n = 6项研究）的感知、预期和实际频率（n = 3项研究）和赌博支出（n = 3项研究）、意外或无意赌博（n = 2）、赌博可能性（n = 2）、使用赞助商产品的可能性（n = 2）以及在某些情况下下注的复杂性或风险（n = 2）的增加有关。研究表明，在高风险赌徒中，自我报告的效果可能更为明显（n = 7）。初步证据表明，降低赌博风险或成本的特定诱因似乎特别有影响力（n = 3）。证据基础的局限性包括缺乏标准化措施和使用观察设计。结论：接触体育相关的赌博广告似乎与各种广告媒体的赌博行为增加有关。这种关联可能在已经处于更高伤害风险的高风险赌徒身上更为明显。

期刊介绍： Addiction publishes peer-reviewed research reports on pharmacological and behavioural addictions, bringing together research conducted within many different disciplines. Its goal is to serve international and interdisciplinary scientific and clinical communication, to strengthen links between science and policy, and to stimulate and enhance the quality of debate. We seek submissions that are not only technically competent but are also original and contain information or ideas of fresh interest to our international readership. We seek to serve low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries as well as more economically developed countries. Addiction’s scope spans human experimental, epidemiological, social science, historical, clinical and policy research relating to addiction, primarily but not exclusively in the areas of psychoactive substance use and/or gambling. In addition to original research, the journal features editorials, commentaries, reviews, letters, and book reviews.
