Gambling research in Canada

Gambling research in Canada Professor Fiona Nicoll from the University of Alberta and Professor Kate Bedford from the University of Birmingham delve into gambling research in Canada, emphasizing the need to widen the lens. The gambling landscape has changed radically in Canada, as in many other countries around the world. Gambling is no longer a spatially and temporally bound activity: it is available anywhere, anytime, on a mobile device. In light of growing concerns about the harms associated with liberalizing online gambling and sports betting, there is an urgent need to take stock of recent developments and debate the next steps comprehensively, using the full range of research into gambling harms.
