Study on the effect of limiting deposit at bwin
Over two years, the "Koordinierunszentrum for clinical studies at the University of Leipzig, the Department for Drug Prevention at the University of Cambridge and the Harvard Medical School, the betting and gaming behaviour of 48,114 users bwin analysed. The surprising results were now in "Harm Reduction Journal.
The "Harm Reduction Journal" is an open platform, the scientific studies, reviews of scientific articles or comments from research results. The focus is always on drug abuse and addiction in its various forms. This is but less physical and psychological effects . The aim is to use this open a lively exchange platform to create the new knowledge for the public health care creates. The research and its results are not profit, the scientists are as neutral bodies in the scientific sense, to understand.
This notice should also be given to researchers at the long-term study of the betting and game behavior of 48,114 users bwin crucial. No financial influence, the analysis of the data provided from 2005 to 2007 was collected, will suffer. If you look at the results, then the emphasis on this information understandable, because these are surprisingly failed.
The starting point of the research was the search for effective means to play and prevent Wettsucht. This has bwin the possibility of a limitation. User account when they had the opportunity to limit their operations. The game was then behaviour of players who exceeded their account deposits and those that did not compare, and the game behavior before and after exceeding the limit.
The Wettverhalten of exactly 48114 users who are between 1 February and February 28, 2005 had registered and those who before 28 February 2007 money on their bwin account had been two years.
In detail, the study on betting and gambling on the Internet, because it is a very young medium. Precise studies on the participation of Internet betting and gambling, there are few according to this report. However, two empirical surveys, in the U.S. have been carried out. These are the numbers of users from 0.3% to 4%. Another study has 1294 Internet users in Ontario, Canada asked them have 5.3% in the last 12 months or played online bet. Participation in online betting or games is lower than expected - other forms, such as casinos or lottery games and recorded higher sales increase. Nevertheless, there is a growing market whose curve relatively steep rise. For this reason, said long-term study of the "Koordinierunszentrums for clinical trials," the Department of Drug Prevention at the University of Cambridge and the Harvard Medical School launched and form an important part of addiction research, because the knowledge of actual addiction for Internet users is to date. Speculation about possible risks in relation to Internet gambling would have an obvious lack of reliability, as well as the apparent inability of the access control for minors, or suchtgefährdete people.
The report also speaks of targeted opportunities in Internet protection mechanisms to implement such as Software tools to record the behavior and assign. A Web-based technology could set time limits, a limit on credit cards could also be helpful, such as the possibility itself to set limits or entirely from access to a provider ruled out.
With this basic information collected via the Internet betting and gambling, the researchers, in cooperation with bwin be made surveys and actual results to be achieved. This has bwin a deposit limit for a certain period in his system implemented. Will the user more than possible, and in this period, to his account projects will be rejected by a notification. € 1000, - are each 24 hours or € 5000, - within 30 days bwin is the limit. The deposit can only exceed the limits set when the ratio of profit compared to the deposit account disproportionately high or exceptionally high income users can. But the limits set by bwin by the user can be reduced.
Only 160 users, which is 0.3%, (5 women and 155 men with an average age of 30.8 years), according to the study exceeded at least once in their set limit. This also had a higher frequency than any other game users. The behavior, compared before and after the overrun, shows that the game and Wettverhalten after the overrun has had a somewhat negative.
Generally, those who exceed their limits, which are taking a higher limit. Surprisingly, has deepened in the study showed that the total user but seen relatively successful, the percentage of losses is lower than for those who are less risk. Although of course, some rather modest gains balance. Deposit limits seem the size of large losses or even bankruptcy can be avoided, according to the summary of the study.
Unfortunately, the report noted that the limit of bwin working around easily because the next player without limitation only a mouse click away. Therefore, a general guideline for betting and gambling providers on the Internet, as a compulsory licensing or integration of software-control programs.
