Summary

This paper by Bournemouth University explores how responsible online gambling can be supported through persuasive information systems that use gamblers' behavioural and emotional data.

Topics covered

  • psychological foundations of real-time persuasive interventions
  • ethical considerations around data usage and privacy
  • proposed architecture for responsible gambling systems
  • challenges in implementing such technologies

Key findings

Online gambling offers unique opportunities to monitor behaviour and provide real-time interventions to promote responsible gambling. However, using personal data raises privacy and ethical concerns.

A collaborative approach involving gambling operators, researchers and users is needed to develop effective systems that balance user protection with data rights.
