Author(s): McAuliffe, William H. B. ; Edson, Timothy C. ; Louderback, Eric R. ; LaRaja, Alexander ; LaPlante, Debi A.

Journal: PLoS One

Year Published: 2021

Date Added: August 17, 2021

This article is a review of current evidence on interventions and tools to promote responsible gambling. The authors identified 78 articles which described 86 studies. Overall, no intervention or tool had unambiguous evidence. Some did show promise, such as breaks in play, pop-up messages asking players to reflect on their gambling behaviour, and removing banknote acceptors. The authors suggested there might be low replicability of research and evidence of publication bias.
