This report, funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, is an analysis of of gambling advertising and warning messages.

The research explored Australian legislation and compared it with other OECD countries as well as looking at the impact of gambling advertising and its interaction with warning messages.

This study explores children's gambling attitudes and consumption intentions and the range of consumer socialisation factors, such as family and media, that may influence these attitudes and behaviours. 

The study was undertaken by Hannah Pitt and Samantha Thomas et al. from the Deakin University's School of Health and Social Development.

This study, from the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, examines the experiences of gamblers accessing e-mental health interventions provided by Gambling Help Online. 

The most frequent types of e-therapy accessed by gamblers are examined and evaluated in the report, including: 

• chat and email counselling;
• self-help website information and self-help modules; and
• community peer support forums. 

The study also developed, piloted and evaluated the impact of a text messaging relapse prevention program trialled over a 12 week period. 

This is the first Australian study to describe the characteristics of gamblers using e-therapy and raises issues associated with understanding the needs of online service users and customising service responses accordingly.

This paper from the Australian Gambling Research Centre, examines the available literature about gambling participation within culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities in Australia.

Recognising the inter-related nature of a number of the issues that surround problem gambling and those affected by it, this background paper explores the evidence for cross-sector collaboration.

Authored by a team from the Bouverie Centre and published by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, practice guidelines have also been developed, drawing on the evidence in the background paper, for managers and organisations who wish to improve outcomes for clients by working holistically across services.

This research, undertaken by a team led by Professor Nerilee Hing at Central Queensland University and published by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation, explores responsible gambling and presents a preliminary set of behavioural indicators for responsible gambling consumption.

Produced by the Australian National University (ANU) Centre for Gambling Research, this report presents new analysis of data from the 2014 Survey on Gambling, Health and Wellbeing in the ACT and compares it with data collected in the 2009 survey to examine gambling expenditure shares by level of problem gambling, type of activity and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics.

The report was released in conjunction with an associated report for Gambling Expenditure in the ACT (2009).

This new discussion paper from the Australian Gambling Research Centre reviews the available Australian and international research about the effectiveness of electronic mental health (e-mental health) programs and services for problem gamblers.

The paper found that while a majority of e-mental health interventions have not been evaluated, e-mental health can provide an appropriate and cost-effective way to increase the number of people accessing help for problem gambling.

This project uses a mixed methods approach to investigate innovation in gambling products (with a focus on casino table-games, bingo, race wagering and sports betting) and the effect of  contemporary innovations on player behaviour.

The Responsible Gambling Council's (RGC) Centre for the Advancement of Best Practices (Canada) has released findings from Insight - a research project designed to investigate and identify best practices for self-exclusion reinstatement and renewal.
