Gambling study: longer Ad-Free period after Self-Exclusion may reduce relapse

NCT ID NCT05413564

First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looked at whether extending the time gambling sites stop sending ads after a person voluntarily bans themselves (self-exclusion) helps them gamble less. Over 2,500 adults who self-excluded from online sports betting, poker, or horse racing were randomly assigned to either the standard procedure or an extended 9-month ad-free period. The main goal was to see if the longer ad break reduced the total amount of money lost to gambling.
