What Can Behavioural Scientists Learn from <\/strong><\/strong>
Real-World Gambling Behaviour?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Luke Clark<\/strong>
University of British Columbia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gambling is a widespread example of recreational risk-taking with the potential for excessive consumption. In BC, over 70% of the adult population report some gambling engagement, and annual provincial income from gambling exceeds $1.6 billion. Many classic effects in judgment & decision making and behavioural economics are inspired by how gamblers are supposed to behave (e.g. loss aversion, the \u2018house money\u2019 effect, the gambler\u2019s fallacy) yet surprisingly, there is limited research on cognitive biases in real-world gambling. This talk will focus on three lines of enquiry in our recent work: i) how do the design features of modern gambling products (slot machines, sports betting) increase harmful engagement, ii) how does online gambling further shape this risk, and iii) how can we use behavioural insights to innovate new gambling harm reduction tools?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
