Greo maintains a data repository of research-grade gambling datasets that are available for research purposes. It uses the Dataverse platform and is part of the Scholar's Portal Dataverse. Dataverse conforms to industry best practices and maintains data integrity and security. Dataverse is OAI-PMH compatible, meaning datasets indexed by Google and other search engines.
Datasets in the Greo repository are put through a rigorous quality assurance process. Our team ensures the data are clean and consistent, and we create a "codebook" that describes the data collected and what the variables mean. This snapshot of our archival process shows you the method we follow to preserve a dataset.
Greo's Evidence Centre library indexes all datasets housed by Greo, as well as links to gambling datasets held by other national and international data archives, such as Statistics Canada. This infographic shows the process to access any of the datasets listed in the Evidence Centre.

The general process to access datasets is summarized in this infographic. Permission is required to access most datasets housed in Greo's data repository. Open access datasets may be downloaded directly from the repository. To access other Greo-housed datasets, please submit a Request to Access Data Form, or email dataset@greo.ca. Note that you must agree to Greo's Terms of Use to be granted access to the dataset. For all other datasets, you will be redirected to the hosting archive where you will be required to follow their policies. |
