Sustainable Interaction

One nice aspect of being a moderator on a conference is the gift-giving part. Yesterday, I gave away olive oil to two PhD students from University of Bergen: Joakim Hellumbråten Kristensen who talked about gambling and suicide and Farangis Sharifibastan who presented on a personality measure and gambling problems. Carrie Shaw talked about a longitudinal study on gambling and Covid 19. Mark van der Maas presented results from a study looking at the content on an online gambling forum.

At EASG in Rome - a first reflection Visiting my first session at this years EASG. As usual it is a nice mix. So far I have listened to Pedro Romero on psychedelic-assisted therapy for problem gamblers, Neven Ricijas on treatment within the justice system (very impressive) and Ståle Pallesen on Sami peoples view on gambling and gambling treatment. It is great to learn new things!

Day 1 of this years EASG conference. Looking forward to meeting new and old friends and colleagues. Met up with my good friend Nilsson Thomas this morning. If you see me come and say hi! #easg2024 #sustainableinteraction

Some responsible gambling initiatives deserve to be highlighted repeatedly, such as Norsk Tipping’s real-time interventions. They are a crystal-clear example of what can be achieved when we prioritise responsible gambling, put competent and forward-thinking people to work, and allow time and patience for the process. We can change and do things differently. Well done to Tanja Sveen and the rest of the Norsk Tipping team for an important achievement that not only makes a real difference for players but also serves as a true inspiration for others in the industry.

We’re excited to announce that Betsson Group, who already offers GamTest in several markets, is expanding with a new brand: Betsson Argentina. With this launch, players in Argentina will gain access to a scientifically sound self-assessment tool designed to help them understand and manage their gambling habits, while Betsson will gain valuable insights into the wellbeing of the player population. - We are very happy that Betsson trusts our self-assessment tool to assist its players in Argentina to play at a healthy level, and we are proud to see our tool expanding into a new market in South America. We believe that GamTest is one of the best options for gambling operators to offer a low-threshold, easy-to-use player intervention, providing players with detailed feedback on their gambling habits and tips on how to stay safe, says Christofer Hagstedt, CDBO at Sustainable Interaction. #safergambling #playerprotection #responsiblegambling

We’re going to Rome! Jakob Jonsson and Christofer Hagstedt from our team will be speaking at the European Association for the Study of Gambling (EASG) conference in Rome.
 Christofer will present on “A Stepwise Approach to Duty of Care,” and Jakob will discuss how the auto-play feature on online slots impacts gambling behaviour. We asked them which sessions they’re particularly excited to attend themselves. Christofer Hagstedt: My colleague Jakob Jonsson sessions, of course! But joking aside, the research sessions are very relevant to me, as is the women in gambling topic. I’m looking forward to the new insights they might provide. Jakob Jonsson: The bad and good thing with EASG is that it’s a smorgasbord with so many tempting dishes. Quite often, I find myself wanting to attend two sessions at the same time. I have a special interest in harm minimization and regulation, so I’ll try to attend as many of those sessions as possible. And I hope to make it to at least one of the sessions focusing on women and gambling. We’re looking forward to seeing both new and familiar faces in a few weeks!

Most people who are experiencing gambling problems recover on their own. However, low-risk players can progress to higher risk levels over time. Christofer Hagstedt shares his view on why self-assessment tests should have an expiry date when used as a metric in gambling analytics tools.
