Abstract
Problem gambling is a DSM-5-recognized behavioural addiction of growing concern through the emergence of the Internet with better availability and accessibility of gambling and a wider range of game offers. Thus, a new target group is approached through Online Gambling, which is leading to new issues in the prevention on problem gambling. In this study we discuss the differences in characteristics between Online and Offline Gamblers, the risk factors to develop a gambling problem as well as prevention methods and therapies. This review focuses on the situation in Switzerland with regard to the actual political occurrences and the new law on Online Gambling.
