Author(s): Toney, Melissa ; Stark, Sasha ; Price, Alex

Publisher: Responsible Gambling Council

Year Published: 2022

Date Added: February 22, 2022

Resource Type: Webinar

This webinar discusses gambling among Chinese, South Asian, and Indigenous communities. It presents research findings from a COVID-19 longitudinal study on gambling in these communities. The aim of the study was to gain insights into problem gambling and harms in the communities. The study also aimed to provide recommendations to support the creation of prevention programs. The webinar provides community partners with an understanding of gambling impacts in their communities. It outlines key findings from the study. It also includes key recommendations for creating prevention programs. Key insights include:

  • Gambling is important in Chinese culture as a social activity.
  • People of South Asian descent are more likely to gamble and be affected by a family member's gambling.
  • Barriers to treatment among the community include stigma. Indigenous People in Ontario increased their spending on gambling during the pandemic. Perceived barriers to treatment included not wanting to be judged.

Recommendations from the report include:

  • Tailor messages to acknowledge cultural beliefs and values while promoting safer gambling.
  • Develop materials in preferred languages
  • Expand prevention and education programs to target family members.
  • Promote the availability of resources, including anonymous treatment programs.
