Participants from the 2020 Spanish Survey on Alcohol and Drugs (N = 17,105; 50.52% men; Mage = 38.38 ± 13.07) were included. Individuals were classified as gamblers with GD when scored ≥4 points in the DSM-5 criteria. ANOVA and Pearson correlations were carried out to analyze differences in GD scores according to the variables noted above. The results showed that the rate of GD was 0.63% in the total sample and 1.05% in past-year gamblers. Characteristics which showed significantly higher GD scores were as follows: being a man, younger age, unmarried, greater gambling involvement both online and offline, gambling both online and offline, betting on both strategic and non-strategic games or on exclusively strategic games, lower gambling risk perception, greater substance use, higher problematic alcohol, cannabis, or internet use, or a lifetime diagnosis of anxiety, insomnia, or substance use disorder (all p-values ≤.001). The findings may guide future legal regulation policies and promote actions to prevent gambling-related problems.KEYWORDS: GamblingprevalencecorrelatesSpanish adultssubstance useinternet use AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the Spanish National Drugs Plan (Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality) for providing the survey data.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data in this study was obtained from the 2020 Survey on Alcohol and Drugs in Spain.

Despite well-documented risks associated with the behavior and parallels between cryptocurrency trading and gambling, the mental health implications and associations of this behavior are only beginning to be understood. The objective of the current work was to provide preliminary data, using a census-matched, weighted, U.S. sample, of the sociodemographic predictors of cryptocurrency trading and the broad cluster of addictive behaviors that are associated with such behavior. Participants were recruited by YouGov Opinion polling and taken from two samples: a weighted, census-matched sample adults in the United States (N = 2,806) and an oversample of sports-wagering individuals in the United States (N = 1,557). Cryptocurrency trading habits were measured via self-report questions, as were gambling problems, and substance use and dependence. Younger, more educated, higher-income men were more likely to regularly trade cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency trading was associated with greater frequency of addictive behaviors and greater self-reported feelings of addiction. Collectively, these results suggest that cryptocurrency is often linked a wide variety of impulsive or at-risk behaviors and may be seen as an indicator of more broad concerns with risky behaviors.KEYWORDS: Substance use disordersproblem gamblingcompulsive sexual behavior disordercryptocurrencybitcoin Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).CRediT statementJBG and SWK were responsible for the conception and design of this project, and data collection.
