Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze population trends in legalized internet gambling based on the study of LaPlante, Schumann, LaBrie, and Shaffer(2008). This study attempted to gain an elaborate understanding of maladaptive gambling behavior based on actual behavior patterns observed directly from the population of Internet gamblers. Data was collected from 28,971 members who had first registered on a legal Internet gambling(sports betting) site between August and December, 2007. The number of bets and betting amounts until November, 2009 (total 23∼28 months) were collected. This study conducted a correlation analysis between number of participating days, number of bets, and betting amounts after computing individual days of gambling participation from activation of each initial membership. The results of this study were found consistent with those reported by LaPlante et al.(2008)in that the number of bets and betting amounts of gamblers showed significantly decreasing patterns of adaptive behavior and the patterns were similar regardless of gender and age(r=-.628~-.797, all ps<.001). Finally, we discussed the findings from the results associated with future direction on the study of Internet gambling.
