Gambling exposure describes the extent to which a person or population encounters gambling activities. There are many features of gambling that affect exposure; examples of these features include the type of gambling activity, location, and number of venues.
Why is this factor important? |
| Gambling exposure is closely linked to gambling participation since without opportunities to gamble, people are unable to take part. Participation can lead to gambling problems if harm results (e.g. financial or personal distress), and some types of gambling have higher risk levels than others. A better understanding of the exposure factor can provide insight into what influences people to gamble. |
