Safer gambling interventions through social media and altered signup processes can help encourage uptake of safer gambling tools, a GambleAware-commissioned study has found, but researchers said there were “no effects on outcomes such as amounts deposited or play time.
In the study, the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) worked with 888, Gamesys, Buzz Bingo, Betfred and Genting in order to implement and evaluate interventions.
The interventions used were developed through practices created in the Gambling Commission’s Safer Gambling Messaging Project in 2017.
Each operator implemented their interventions in a different way.
