Listed in chronological order of award:

January 2022 - Major Exploratory Grant Competition
Recipient: Dr. David Zendle, University of York

Date of decision: 17 March 2022

Project Title: RETRO: The Retrospective Spending Observatory

Abstract: This study will use a novel methodology to retrospectively measure spending on gambling over longitudinal timeframes. Namely, it will use a mobile app to scan participants’ inboxes for ‘transactional emails’ to reconstitute their spending history. Next, data will be entered into time-series models to estimate the ‘temporal precedence’ between gambling engagement and loot box and social casino spending. Finally, the project will facilitate access to the newly created longitudinal dataset for the research community. This study will generate data that can address policy-critical issues, such as loot box regulations, and will also provide a novel data infrastructure for future gambling research.

January 2022 - Minor Exploratory Grant Competition
Recipient: Dr. Richard J. E. James, University of Nottingham

Co-investigator: Prof. Richard J. Tunney

Date of decision: 17 March 2022

Project Title: Harnessing gambling prevalence microdata to model socio-political and economic factors that contribute to gambling harm

Abstract: This study will pool data from 69 gambling prevalence surveys to develop a comprehensive gambling prevalence dataset. This dataset will be used to examine geographic/jurisdictional variance in gambling behaviours and to assess the role of societal factors that may affect gambling (e.g., GDP per capita, gambling regulation, and healthcare spending). Finally, the researchers will make available the code they used to pool the datasets to encourage its use by other researchers. The greater understanding of societal factors that influence gambling behaviour could stimulate policy interventions to reduce harm from gambling.

 

Recipient: Dr. Philip Newall, University of Bristol

Co-investigators: Mr. Ty Hayes, Dr. Lukasz Walasek, and Prof. Matthew Browne

Date of decision: 17 March 2022

Project Title: A novel test of a widely-cited consequence of the illusion of control in gambling

Abstract: This study will empirically test the claim that gamblers will roll dice harder if they need a higher number to win, which is often cited in support of the illusion of control in gambling. Participants will complete a custom dice-rolling experiment on their phone, where animated dice will be thrown in proportion to how hard they shake their phone, using the phone’s accelerometer. Participants will also complete the Problem Gambling Severity Index, to test for moderators of any dice-rolling effects. This study will provide strong evidence for the consequences of the illusion of control, which is a key concept in many models of disordered gambling.
