“…Common risk factors associated with experiencing harm due to traditional gambling activities include, but are not limited to: being male, young, and from low socio-economic status backgrounds; gambling with greater intensity (e.g., more activities, greater frequency, greater expenditure); and early exposure to gambling (Abbott et al, 2018;Miller, 2015). Many of the common risk factors associated with traditional gambling (being young, male, greater gambling intensity) also appear to be associated with esports betting (Abarbanel, Macey, Hamari, & Melton, 2020;Gainsbury, Abarbanel, & Blaszczynski, 2017a, 2017bGambling Commission, 2018, 2019Macey & Hamari, 2018a;Rockloff et al, 2020;Wardle, Petrovskaya, & Zendle, 2020). In addition to being male and younger, an Australian study found other distinct demographic differences between esports bettors and sports bettors (Gainsbury et al, 2017a).…”
