Abstract

This chapter reviews the current research base and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of responsible gambling programs in practice and makes recommendations for strengthening these programs. Regulators and the gaming industry have increasingly recognized the importance of responsible gambling activities. Suggestions are given for researchers working in the responsible gambling field. A list of minimal requirements for a responsible gambling program is offered. There are multiple interventions available for operators to build a comprehensive responsible gambling program, but the missing ingredient is scientific research designed to develop new programs and to evaluate existing programs for safety and efficacy. More research on responsible gambling will benefit all stakeholders.
