Accessibility

Without access to gambling, one cannot be exposed to, or participate in, gambling activities. There has been an increase in access to gambling, particularly Internet gambling, over the past few decades. Greater availability of gambling and changes in attitudes toward gambling are believed to be related to an increase in participation, expenditures, and gambling related harms. Research suggests that policy and other factors such as economics, cultural practices, location, visibility of venues, and hours of operation, influence access to gambling.
