First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at whether extending the time gambling websites stop sending ads after a person voluntarily bans themselves helps reduce gambling. Over 2,500 adults who self-excluded from online sports betting, poker, or horse racing were randomly assigned to either the usual procedure or one where ads were paused for 9 months. The goal was to see if the longer ad break led to less money lost to gambling.
