Resource Type: Research summary

This is a summary of the Gambling Environment factor of GREO's Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling. This factor is about the social and political environment that influences people’s opportunities to gamble, their gambling behaviour, and the extent to which gambling-related harm may occur. There are numerous features that make up the gambling environment; examples of features for land-based gambling are venue locations, number of venues, and type of gambling activity offered. Most gambling research focuses on the individual rather than the surrounding environment or community. It is important to understand the environment in which gambling occurs since it is controlled and regulated by governments and influenced by consumer demand. This summary will describe elements contributing to the gambling environment.

This document is also available in French, Spanish, and Mandarin. Links are provided below for the translations and for the full version of the Framework.
