Background and aimsProblem gambling has been identified as an emergent public health issue, and there is a need to identify gambling trends and to regularly update worldwide gambling prevalence rates. This paper aims to review recent research on adult gambling and problem gambling (since 2000) and then, in the context of a growing liberalization of the gambling market in the European Union, intends to provide a more detailed analysis of adult gambling behavior across European countries.MethodsA systematic literature search was carried out using academic databases, Internet, and governmental websites.ResultsFollowing this search and utilizing exclusion criteria, 69 studies on adult gambling prevalence were identified. These studies demonstrated that there are wide variations in past-year problem gambling rates across different countries in the world (0.12–5.8%) and in Europe (0.12–3.4%). However, it is difficult to directly compare studies due to different methodological procedures, instruments, cut-offs, and time frames. Despite the variability among instruments, some consistent results with regard to demographics were found.Discussion and conclusionThe findings highlight the need for continuous monitoring of problem gambling prevalence rates in order to examine the influence of cultural context on gambling patterns, assess the effectiveness of policies on gambling-related harms, and establish priorities for future research.

“…The international coverage of this series was broad, and included submissions from Autralasia (Australia [5], New Zealand [6]), South America (Brazil [7]), North America (Canada [8], United States [9]), Europe (Finland [10], Sweden [11], Norway [12], France [13], Switzerland [14] , Czech Republic [15], Spain [16], the Netherlands [17], Germany [18], United Kingdom [19]) and Asia (Taiwan [20], China [21], Singapore [22], India [23] ). The selection of countries profiled was, of course, not random, so countries with relatively more gambling academic involvement are undoubtedly over-represented.…”

“…This distinction parallels general recognition that the latter can cause relatively more social and individual harm. Internet gambling is the latest regulatory challenge, as noted by the papers published in the series most recently [12][13][14][15]. Internet gambling involvement is growing, although it still represents a minority of the commercial market in most jurisdictions.…”

This study aims to investigate a seriousness of gambling problems by gambler sub-type among college students in Korea. Data were collected from 581 college students of Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, and Gyeongsang-do area through the questionnaire and a total of 577 questionnaires were statistically processed excluding the questionnaires of missing answers. To analyze the gambling problems by gambler sub-types among college students, a cross-sectional research design was used in the study. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Among the 577 respondents of this study, 62.2% had gambling experience and especially 6.1% had illegal gambling experience. The prevalence rate of gambling addiction by the Canadian problem gambling index was 14.0% in this study. A significant statistical difference between gambler sub-types in gender, college grade, spending money, beginning of the first gambling, illegal gambling experience, route to start gambling, self-esteem, impulsivity, and irrational gambling belief was found in this study. The number of respondents who knew free counselling centers when there was a gambling problem was only 20 (3.5%), so it is quite required to carry out preventive education and to publicize free counselling centers for a gambling problem. In case that the respondents have a gambling problem, what they wanted to be supported most was psychotherapy and counseling, family counseling, hospital treatment, group therapy or Gamblers Anonymous meeting, and financial and legal consultation. It is required to continue further surveys on gambling among college students and to take a proper measure preventing a gambling problem.
