Gamblers bet more when in the dark: feedback can curb their online losses 30 Jul 2021, 16:39 GMT+10 Online wagering is the fastest-growing segment of gambling in Australia.

These apps provide the ability to win and lose money anywhere, anytime - and their popularity has been exacerbated by COVID-19 lockdowns. A survey of 2,000 gamblers by the Australian Gambling Research Centre in mid-2020 found the proportion of gamblers doing so four or more times a week increased from 23% to 32%.
