“…2 81 Unsurprisingly, 18-year-olds who were not targeted by the age restriction increase showed no significant changes in gambling activity. 81 However, underaged gambling was still occurring in about 13% of their sample. 2 One study found decreases in lottery games and slot machine gambling for the 15-to 17-year-old age group and the 18-to 19-year-old age group, three years post legislation change.…”

“…53 Four Finnish studies that examined the effects of raising the legal age restrictions to gamble were found in the literature. 1,2,81,82 This section will discuss the findings and recommendations from these studies. The age restriction to gamble in Finland was raised from 15 to 18 years old with an interest in protecting youth from gambling-related harms in 2010.…”

Age restrictions and warning labels have been used in gambling to reduce harms for youth and vulnerable populations. This report will provide an overview of adherence to legal age limits for gambling, ways to enforce age limits, warning labels, unintentional consequences, and guidelines for advertising. For an overview of different age restrictions set by several Western countries, i please refer to Appendix A: Age Restrictions Around the World. Refer to Appendix B: Overview of Age Restrictions and Gambling for literature on youth and gambling, the awareness of age restrictions, and the evidence for age restrictions.

“…They also found that verbal abuse was most commonly males towards their mother, but found no difference in cases of physical abuse between genders. McCarthy et al 65 found that women were more likely to report mental health comorbidity than males, however causality was not discussed, and Raisamo et al 66 found that while the most common harm was guilt for both genders, the second was disrupted schoolwork for females and con ict with friends for males.…”

Background: Here we present a systematic review of the existing research into gambling harms, in order to determine whether there are differences in the presentation of these across demographic groups such as age, gender, culture, and socioeconomic status, or gambling behaviour categories such as risk severity and participation frequency. Primary and Secondary Outcome Measures: Inclusion criteria were: 1) focus on gambling harms; 2) focus on harms to the gambler rather than affected others; 3) discussion of specific listed harms and not just harms in general terms. Exclusion criteria were: 1) research of non-human subjects; 2) not written in English; 3) not an empirical study; 3) not available as a full article.Methods: We conducted a systematic search using the Web of Science and Scopus databases in August 2020. Assessment of quality took place using Standard Quality Assessment Criteria.Results: A total of 59 studies published between 1994 and 2020 met the inclusion criteria. These were categorised into thematic groups for comparison and discussion. There were replicated differences found in groups defined by age, socioeconomic status, education level, ethnicity and culture, risk severity, and gambling behaviours. Conclusion: Harms appear to be dependent on specific social, demographic and environmental conditions that suggests there is a health inequality in gambling related harms. Further investigation is required to develop standardised measurement tools and to understand confounding variables and co-morbidities. With a robust understanding of harms distribution in the population, Primary Care Workers will be better equipped to identify those who are at risk, or who are showing signs of Gambling Disorder, and to target prevention and intervention programmes appropriately.
