This dataset accompanies a study of the same title published in PLOS One. It offers a list of publicly available gambling related transactions derived from the Ethereum blockchain. This data includes over 2.2M individual transactions across 24,000+ unique addresses from three decentralised gambling applications over 583 days. It also includes calculated behavioural measures for each player found in each application. The study explored spending behaviours in decentralised gambling applications. It found that the average player spent less than in other online casinos, but heavily involved player spent much more. Because these applications use cryptocurrencies, the transactions are publicly available. Thus, this data can be used in academic research, including large scale data analysis.
