Gambling Environment Factor Banner

A number of tools have been developed to assess the risk associated with specific gambling products. These tools rate gambling products on a scale from relatively harmless to relatively harmful. For example, AsTERiG (tool to evaluate the risk potential of different gambling types) rates gambling products based on 10 factors (e.g., frequency of play from making a bet to knowing the outcome, size of stake, etc.). Two other commonly used tools are GamGard and TRG (Tools for Responsible Games). AsTERiG and TRG are currently used in a few European countries. GamGard is used by gambling companies belonging to the World Lottery Association.

Some gambling companies have developed computer-based systems to track gambling patterns among their customers. Feedback can then be provided to customers who appear to have gambling problems or are at risk of developing them.
